Earlier Report Observations
The paddy rice market in Comoros experienced a contraction from 7 000 kg in 2018 to 4 000 kg by 2021, with a modest stabilization around 5 000 kg in the intervening years.
A recovery to 5 320 kg in 2022 was followed by a slight decline to 5 000 kg in 2023. During this period, consumer prices were affected by an estimated 3-4% inflation rate, while broader efforts to liberalize the economy and create an attractive legal framework aimed to encourage new investment into the agricultural sector.
In 2024, imports of paddy rice surged to 12 000 kg, indicating increased reliance on foreign supply. This occurred alongside a modest economic growth of 3.4% and continued inflation, which likely supported domestic demand, while central bank operations focused on stabilizing market liquidity for agricultural actors.
