Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh or chilled lettuce and chicory in Dominica showed moderate fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 120.4 metric tons in 2018, it rose to 126.9 metric tons in 2019 due to a surge in imports, then settled around 122–123 metric tons for the following three years before reaching 124.3 metric tons in 2023.

Domestic production remained relatively stable throughout the period, hovering between 116.5 metric tons and 118.2 metric tons. Changes in import volumes, which varied from 2.2 metric tons in 2018 to 9.7 metric tons in 2019 and 7.8 metric tons in 2023, were the primary driver of shifts in total market supply, as exports were negligible.
