Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh edible brassicas in Cabo Verde dropped sharply from 5 757 t in 2018 to 4 031 t in 2019. This decline was primarily driven by persistent structural constraints in agriculture, including severe water scarcity and low productivity, which limited local production.

Market volume stabilized around 4 000 t in 2020, as increased demand for essential food during the COVID-19 pandemic offset ongoing drought conditions. Trade facilitation measures such as the Single Window for External Trade (JUCE) helped maintain supply chains. In 2021, despite rising food prices due to drought and inflation, volume edged up to 4 022 t, supported by business stability initiatives from the Chamber of Commerce. A significant rebound to 4 533 t occurred in 2022, following public investments in water infrastructure like dam construction, aimed at modernizing and expanding agricultural output.

In 2023, market volume fell to 3 681 t. During this year, the Independent Health Regulatory Authority (ERIS) strengthened food safety standards as the Codex Alimentarius focal point, while European investments in the agricultural sector continued, though their direct impact on brassicas production may not have been immediate.
