Oranges market in Guinea

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the orange market in Guinea expanded consistently, with volume rising from 116 thousand tons to 153 thousand tons. Each year saw growth of approximately 5-6%, driven primarily by increasing domestic production.

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Guinea's economy, accounting for about 29% of GDP and employing 58% of the workforce, providing a stable base for orange cultivation. During this period, the expansion of telecommunications and digital financial services, led by Orange Guinée, enhanced market connectivity and facilitated the distribution of agricultural products, supporting consumption.

In 2024, the government launched ambitious agricultural campaigns with substantial funding to support producers, which may influence local orange production. Global factors such as reduced orange output in Egypt and supply uncertainties from Brazil affected international trade, potentially impacting Guinea's market dynamics.
