Earlier Report Observations

The citrus fruit market in Guinea-Bissau expanded from 22 603 t in 2018 to 23 011 t by 2020. This growth was driven by the establishment of EU-funded processing units for fruits and vegetables, which enhanced the production chain and encouraged higher citrus output. In 2020, the 'Ianda Guiné Hortas' program trained small-scale farmers in sustainable agricultural techniques, further boosting productivity and supporting market growth.

Market volume peaked at 23 297 t in 2021, then stabilized around 23 200 t in 2022 and 2023. Import levels fluctuated during this period, reaching 110 t in 2022 before declining, reflecting adjustments in supply without significant changes in overall consumption.

By 2024, market dynamics were influenced by weaker consumer purchasing power due to rising food prices, which dampened fruit consumption. Simultaneously, new government import and customs requirements, including the mandatory use of the SYDONIA++ declaration system, altered the trade environment for agricultural products.
