Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh cucumbers and gherkins in Comoros showed steady growth from 2018 to 2023, with production volume increasing from 1 944 tons to 2 349 tons. This represents an annual rise of approximately 81 tons, reflecting a consistent expansion in domestic output. The market remained entirely supplied by local production, as no imports or exports were recorded throughout the period.

The growth coincided with a period of moderate economic expansion, with GDP rising by 3.0% in 2023 and an inflation rate of 8.5%. The agricultural sector operates under a phytosanitary decree from 2006 (Decree N° 06-220/PR), which aims to control plant pests and may contribute to stable production conditions. Broader structural factors, such as the Comores Émergent 2030 plan, seek to strengthen agriculture, though specific measures for cucumbers are not detailed.

Despite the upward trend, the cucumber market in Comoros is characterized by small-scale and artisanal farming, with no major industrial players or significant new entrants reported. The economy's reliance on imports in other sectors and vulnerability to climate events underscore the market's local nature and gradual growth path.
