Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the cucumber and gherkin market in Indonesia expanded from 433.9 thousand tons to 471.9 thousand tons. This growth was underpinned by the adoption of higher-yielding varieties like Bandana F1, better adapted to local lowland and midland conditions, and the gradual integration of improved cultivation techniques such as foliar fertilizer application and shoot pruning to enhance seed quality.

Production peaked at 471.9 thousand tons in 2021, a record year supported by favorable climatic conditions and good seed availability. However, the market volume subsequently contracted, falling to 416.7 thousand tons by 2023. This decline was driven by persistent reliance on inefficient traditional farming practices, suboptimal fertilizer use, and poor water management that left the sector vulnerable to extreme weather events.

The market also grew increasingly dependent on supplies from specific regions like West Java, which heightened supply chain vulnerability for major urban centers.
