Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh grapes in Libya fluctuated between 2018 and 2023, rising from 32 745 t in 2018 to a peak of 37 611 t in 2022 before declining to 33 843 t in 2023. Domestic production saw a gradual slight decrease over the period, while import volumes varied significantly, driving most of the market volatility.

In 2023, the market contraction coincided with rising fertilizer prices due to regional natural gas price disruptions, which increased agricultural production costs. Additionally, climatic and environmental factors challenged production stability, and new grape varieties emerged on the local market, shifting consumption patterns.

For 2024, import levels continued to fall, influenced by tighter foreign currency purchase limits and credit restrictions that affected the import of agricultural inputs. Meanwhile, efforts to improve organic farming practices and strategic pruning aimed at enhancing grape quality and yield were noted, alongside investment packages designed to attract foreign companies to the Libyan economy.
