Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, the market for fresh melons and papayas in Kazakhstan grew steadily from 1995 thousand tons to 2720 thousand tons. This expansion was supported by a rising focus on production localization and higher packaging standards, alongside the entry of new players into the market. Increased consumer demand for quality and certified goods further stimulated consumption.

The market volume dipped to 2583 thousand tons in 2022, coinciding with high inflation and a weakened tenge, which reduced purchasing power. However, by 2023, the market recovered to 2821 thousand tons, driven by growing consumer preferences for eco-friendly and local products, as well as the strengthened role of marketplaces and e‑commerce in distributing fresh fruits.
