Earlier Report Observations

Libya's market for not roasted and not cooked groundnuts expanded from 17 773 t in 2018 to 21 995 t in 2020, a 24% increase over two years. This growth was supported by active peanut oil production and shipments, which indicated robust processing activity, alongside government efforts to diversify the economy through agricultural support.

After peaking in 2020, the market volume eased to 21 040 t in 2021 and stabilized near 21 050 t in 2022. In 2023, heavy storms and floods damaged agricultural production, including groundnuts, contributing to a 7.7% drop in market volume to 19 425 t. Concurrently, an influx of Sudanese refugees into regions like Al-Kufra sustained local food demand, which moderated the decline through continued imports.
