Earlier Report Observations

From 2018, cassava production in New Caledonia faced persistent climatic challenges including droughts, heavy rains, and cyclones that impacted yields. During this period, the government implemented strict import quotas for fruits and vegetables to protect local producers, while online platforms were launched to connect farmers with buyers, facilitating local sales and access to public procurement markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted supply chains, further straining production and contributing to a decline in market volume. Regulatory measures, including the simplification of public market rules and continued import controls, aimed to bolster local food security but coincided with a gradual decrease in domestic output through 2022, evidenced by rising wholesale prices for vegetables.

In 2023, cassava production dropped sharply to 710.5 tons, likely compounded by accumulated climatic effects and the limited availability of imported alternatives. The overall market shrank from 827.3 tons in 2018 to 710.5 tons in 2023 as local consumption relied increasingly on diminishing domestic harvests under a policy framework designed to shield local agriculture.
