Earlier Report Observations

The Jamaican cauliflowers and broccoli market expanded significantly from 1 678 t in 2018 to 3 347 t in 2023. This growth was driven by a steady increase in domestic production, which more than doubled from 1 523 t to 2 998 t over the period. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused supply chain disruptions and shifts in consumer demand, leading to a temporary stabilization of the market volume at around 2 093 t that year.

Following the pandemic's initial impact, the market resumed its growth trajectory, reaching 2 533 t in 2021 and 3 192 t in 2022. Imports provided additional supply, though they fluctuated between 156 t and 349 t annually. The consistent rise in local output remained the primary factor behind the overall market expansion throughout the years.

By 2023, the market volume reached 3 347 t, marking a continued, though more moderate, increase. Export and import prices for these vegetables showed relative stability during the later years, contributing to predictable market conditions for both local producers and importers.
