Earlier Report Observations

Domestic production of dried shelled legumes in Saint Kitts and Nevis showed a steady upward trend, increasing from 465 t in 2018 to 480 t in 2023. This consistent growth in local output provided a stable base for the market throughout the period. Total market volume, however, experienced significant fluctuations due to varying import levels, declining from 549 t in 2018 to 504 t in 2020 before recovering to 593 t in 2022 alongside a surge in imports.
