Earlier Report Observations

Cuban production of fresh cucumbers and gherkins fell sharply from 106.7 thousand tons in 2018 to 81.7 thousand tons in 2020, a drop of over 20% in two years. Output then stabilized, remaining around 79-80 thousand tons through 2023.

In 2023, Cuba's official import list for fresh fruits and vegetables, including cucumbers and gherkins, was subject to changes based on phytosanitary conditions in exporting countries, directly affecting import possibilities. The following year, 2024, saw the introduction of a new regulation (Resolution 27/2024) by the Ministry of Agriculture, which set stricter phytosanitary certificate and permit requirements for importing plants and plant products.
