Earlier Report Observations

Fonio production in Niger began at 6400 tons in 2018 but declined over the following years, falling to 5673 tons by 2020. The market then experienced a sharp contraction in 2021, with output dropping to 4015 tons, largely due to COVID-19 pandemic disruptions that hindered agricultural supply chains and market access for farmers.

A significant recovery occurred in 2022 as production rebounded to 6050 tons. This resurgence was driven by rising prices for staple cereals like millet and sorghum, which encouraged farmers to plant more fonio as an alternative crop. However, output eased to 5677 tons in 2023, influenced by ECOWAS sanctions and domestic political instability that slowed broader economic activity.
