Earlier Report Observations

The fresh grapes market in Malta contracted from 5 348 tons in 2018 to 3 868 tons in 2021. This downward trend was notably influenced in 2020 by COVID-19 safety measures implemented at local markets such as Pitkali, which altered fresh produce handling and led to consumer advisories for thorough washing, likely suppressing demand and disrupting normal distribution channels.

Market volume rebounded to 4 866 tons in 2022 before declining again to 4 265 tons in 2023. The introduction of mandatory animal health control programmes for establishments with food-producing animals that year increased regulatory burdens for agricultural operations, potentially constraining local grape production. Concurrently, the ongoing governance of Producer Organisations under the Common Market Organisation Regulation continued to influence the market's operational framework.
