Earlier Report Observations

The market for cucumbers and gherkins in Mali showed considerable growth from 79 thousand tons in 2018 to 121.2 thousand tons in 2023, with annual variations. The initial years were marked by the development of soilless organic vegetable farming, a trend that attracted new entrepreneurs and responded to rising consumer preference for healthier, pesticide-free produce. This segment gained momentum through direct sales via digital platforms and home deliveries, broadening market access.

Production faced a setback in 2021, falling to 84 thousand tons, but recovered strongly to 105.9 thousand tons in 2022. That year, despite headwinds from soaring agricultural input prices and supply chain disruptions due to a regional embargo, government support measures enacted at the Superior Council of Agriculture in March 2022 provided incentives for producers, helping to stimulate output and mitigate challenges.

The upward trend continued in 2023, with market volume reaching 121.2 thousand tons, cementing a period of overall expansion driven by organic farming initiatives and supportive policy actions.
