Earlier Report Observations

The orange market in the Central African Republic expanded steadily from 2018 to 2021, with volume rising from 34 272 t to 35 894 t. This growth was supported by improved health infrastructure following a donation of Chinese medical equipment and enhanced consumer awareness from satellite TV projects in rural areas. The government's digitalization of public revenue systems in 2021 likely improved market regulation and efficiency, contributing to the peak growth rate that year.

Market volume dipped to 35 191 t in 2022 due to rising inflation and high bank lending costs, which constrained consumer spending on agricultural products. These economic pressures persisted into 2023, limiting recovery to a modest 0.4% increase as the market stabilized at 35 327 t.
