Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh leguminous vegetables in Mali showed initial stability, with volume hovering around 10 700 t between 2018 and 2019. This period was characterized by the regulatory influence of the state-owned Office des Produits Agricoles du Mali (OPAM) and the nascent growth of soilless organic vegetable cultivation, which responded to increasing consumer preference for healthy produce. A significant expansion of 22% followed in 2020, lifting the market to 12 985 t. This growth was directly supported by government policies focusing on agricultural mechanization and pest control, measures that enhanced local production capacity.

Market volume surged by a further 26% to a peak of 16 320 t in 2021. The primary driver was the consolidation and profitability of soilless organic farming, alongside the substantial contribution of urban women gardeners who strengthened the supply chain in the capital, Bamako. However, this upward trend reversed in 2022, with the market contracting by 13% to 14 192 t. This decline occurred despite ongoing government food resilience programs and the emergence of digital sales platforms like Smart Market, which aimed to improve distribution and consumer access.

The market contraction continued into 2023, with volume falling another 11% to 12 646 t. This brought the market size back near its 2020 level, concluding a period of notable volatility following the 2021 high.
