Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled edible brassicas in Saint Lucia contracted sharply from 807.3 tons in 2018 to 453.9 tons in 2023. This decline was driven by a steady fall in domestic production, which dropped from 239 tons to 118 tons, and a significant reduction in imports after 2019.

In July 2019, the government launched the Farmers Market initiative to educate participants on marketing and promote local produce, aiming to influence market access and consumer behavior. However, the overall market volume continued to decrease, with a particularly steep drop to 422.8 tons in 2021 as imports fell sharply.

After 2021, the market stabilized around 460 tons, with imports recovering slightly but production remaining low. The ongoing Farmers Market program supported local agro-processors, yet the broader trend showed a sustained contraction in total consumption over the period.
