Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for citrus fruit in Liberia gradually declined from 15 920 tons in 2018 to 15 488 tons in 2023. This contraction was primarily driven by the persistent impact of citrus greening disease and adverse weather events, which suppressed domestic production throughout the period. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 further strained the market by causing global supply chain disruptions, leading to a noticeable drop in imports that year and contributing to the overall reduction in available supply.

While global citrus markets saw rising export volumes and growing consumer preference for organic products, these trends did not reverse the downward trajectory in Liberia. The market's gradual shrink occurred in the absence of significant new local production investments or major regulatory shifts, with imports remaining a minor supplement to domestic output.
