Earlier Report Observations

The maize market in Comoros showed consistent expansion from 2018 to 2023, with market volume rising from 17 046 tons to 19 751 tons. This growth was underpinned by increasing domestic production, which advanced from 17 028 tons to 19 751 tons, while imports remained minimal and exports were absent throughout the period.

In 2021, the control of the COVID-19 pandemic through vaccination campaigns supported an economic recovery, which boosted consumption and distribution of agricultural products like maize. The following year, the establishment of the National Payments Council in January 2022 aimed to modernize payment methods, facilitating commercial transactions in the agricultural sector. These developments, along with the Central Bank's liquidity management operations, contributed to sustained market growth.
