Earlier Report Observations

Over the period from 2018 to 2023, the market volume for fresh or chilled edible brassicas in Sao Tome and Principe remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 849.6 and 854.4 tons annually. Domestic production hovered around 845 tons, while import levels varied, driving most of the year-to-year changes in total supply.

Market volume increased to 852.4 tons in 2021, supported by a rise in imports to 7.8 tons. This growth coincided with the presentation of a national agricultural commercialization strategy by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture and Services, which focused on processing, certification, branding, and financing for vegetables, likely improving market access and stimulating trade.

After a slight dip in 2022, the market recovered to 851.7 tons in 2023. During that year, the government approved a ten-year strategy for modernizing coastal pelagic fisheries, emphasizing sustainability and food security, which may have provided indirect support to the broader agricultural sector, including brassicas production.
