Earlier Report Observations

The orange market volume in Rwanda showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. Starting at 8 228 tons in 2018, it fell to 6 256 tons in 2019 and further to 5 299 tons in 2020, before rebounding to 8 205 tons in 2021 and peaking at 11 202 tons in 2022. The market then moderated to 9 698 tons in 2023.

These fluctuations were primarily driven by changes in import volumes, which varied from a low of 2 076 tons in 2020 to a high of 7 984 tons in 2022. Domestic orange production remained relatively stable throughout the period, ranging between 3 217 and 3 336 tons annually, indicating that import levels were the main determinant of total market supply.
