Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the production and market volume of fresh cucumbers and gherkins in Côte d'Ivoire showed a pattern of gradual expansion followed by stabilization. Output grew from 20 184 t in 2018 to 20 582 t in 2022, with the market size closely tracking this increase, before edging down slightly to 20 566 t in 2023.

The growth through 2022 was partly supported by government measures to strengthen the national supply of staple vegetables, including cucumbers, aimed at preserving purchasing power amid inflation. These initiatives directly encouraged local production. In 2023, a reported reduction in cultivated area was offset by the adoption of tunnel and mini-tunnel cultivation techniques, which helped control climatic conditions and maintain yields, particularly using the hardy Poinsett variety. Concurrent research into cucumber fertilization to address a national fruit and vegetable deficit underscored efforts to bolster future output.
