Earlier Report Observations

Yemen's melon market volume expanded from 27 417 tons in 2018 to 42 888 tons in 2023, though growth was uneven across the period. The initial surge in 2019 lifted production by over a third, but the following year saw a contraction as anti-pandemic measures closed markets and restricted sales activity, affecting local vegetable and fruit trade.

Recovery began in 2021, with market size reaching 39 499 tons, and continued through 2023. During this phase, agricultural activity in melon-growing regions such as Shabwa, Tihama, and Abyan intensified, with farmers dedicating larger areas and adopting multiple planting seasons per year to boost output. By 2023, however, rising fuel prices increased production costs for growers in Hodeidah, while the overall market still edged upward.

In 2024, an unprecedented economic stagnation in Houthi-controlled areas depressed consumer purchasing power due to levies and economic pressures, likely affecting vegetable and fruit market transactions.
