Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market volume for dried shelled cow peas in Jamaica showed a pattern of fluctuation with an overall upward trend. After a minor contraction to 342.8 tons in 2019, the market expanded significantly to 404.2 tons in 2020. It then stabilized near 400 tons in 2021 before reaching a peak of 433.2 tons in 2022. The period concluded with a moderate adjustment to 414.9 tons in 2023.

These shifts in total market volume were shaped by countervailing movements in local output and imports. Domestic production fell from 343 tons in 2018 to a low of 313 tons in 2020, then partially recovered to 372 tons in 2021 before declining again to 326 tons in 2023. Concurrently, import volumes rose sharply, from 11.3 tons in 2018 to 91.2 tons in 2020, and remained a substantial supply source, reaching 88.9 tons by 2023. This growing import dependency helped offset the dips in local production and supported the overall market size.

The reliance on imported supply continued into 2024, with import volumes increasing further to 99.2 tons, indicating that external sources remained critical for meeting domestic demand during this period.
