Earlier Report Observations

The Syrian market for fresh or chilled cucumbers and gherkins showed pronounced volatility between 2018 and 2023, with total volume swinging from 176.6 thousand tons in 2018 to a low of 129.6 thousand tons in 2022 before recovering to 154.9 thousand tons in 2023. The most significant single-year drop occurred from 2018 to 2019, when market volume fell by over 40 thousand tons, while the strongest rebound took place in 2020, pushing volume back near its starting point.

Domestic production, the primary component of market supply, followed a similar pattern of sharp declines and recoveries throughout the period. Fluctuations in minor trade flows, including a spike in imports to 4.9 thousand tons in 2022, provided some offset to changes in local output but did not alter the overall volatile trajectory of the market.
