Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for dried shelled cow peas in Eswatini contracted from approximately 720 metric tons in 2018 to around 676 metric tons in 2023. This overall decline was not linear, with a notable drop in 2019 followed by a period of relative stability and a slight recovery in the early 2020s. Production levels gradually decreased over the period, while import figures showed significant volatility, contributing to the market's fluctuations.

Imports played a key role in shaping annual market size. After falling sharply in 2019, imports rebounded to over 18 metric tons in 2022, which helped lift the total market volume that year despite continued softness in domestic output. The subsequent reduction in imports in 2023 coincided with a return to a lower market volume. Export activity remained minimal, with a single recorded shipment in 2022.
