Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, coconut production in Guinea held steady at around 53 000 t per year, while imports gradually rose, leading to a slow expansion of the market volume. This stability coincided with the launch of the AgriFARM project in November 2018, a major initiative funded by IFAD aimed at strengthening family farms and improving their access to local and regional markets. The project's continuation in subsequent years, coupled with ongoing efforts to enhance access to quality agricultural inputs, supported sustained output and facilitated growing imports.

A sharp increase occurred in 2022, with production jumping to 66 000 t and market volume surpassing 67 000 t, followed by further growth to 70 000 t of production and nearly 72 000 t of market volume in 2023. This surge took place alongside enhanced macroeconomic stability and a favorable investment climate, bolstered by a mid-term review confirming the AgriFARM project's progress. In 2023, the signing of memoranda of understanding to guarantee market supply and price stability for essential goods, along with a reported 4.8% growth in the agricultural sector, contributed to the expansion of coconut production.
