Earlier Report Observations

The figs market in Asia began at 461.5 thousand tons in 2018. It grew to 522.1 thousand tons in 2019, driven by rising disposable income and increasing global availability of dried figs, which boosted demand. A slight contraction followed in 2020, with the market decreasing to 510.6 thousand tons.

Production expanded again in 2021, reaching 544.0 thousand tons, and continued to climb to 572.1 thousand tons in 2022. However, 2023 saw a decline to 545.7 thousand tons. In 2024, government subsidies such as the Fig Fruit Development Scheme in Bihar and heightened consumer demand for healthy foods emerged as notable market factors.
