Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for oranges in Timor-Leste increased from 2 197 t in 2018 to 2 393 t in 2023, reflecting overall growth despite yearly fluctuations. Domestic production remained stable around 1 900 t throughout the period, indicating that supply expansion was primarily driven by other factors.

Imports played a significant role in market dynamics, falling sharply in 2020 before recovering and then surging to 770 t in 2024. This import growth in 2024 coincided with broader economic growth driven by public sector expansion and strategic investments, which likely supported higher demand for oranges.
