Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for peaches and nectarines in Eastern Africa followed an upward trajectory from 2018 to 2020, reaching 33 053 t, supported by steady growth in domestic production. After a contraction to 31 638 t in 2021, volumes recovered to 33 195 t in 2022 and stabilized near 33 401 t in 2023, indicating a mature phase after previous fluctuations.

In value terms, the market exhibited greater volatility, peaking at USD 30.5 million in 2019 before declining sharply to USD 20.8 million in 2021. A partial rebound to USD 25.2 million in 2022 was followed by another drop to USD 21.5 million in 2023, suggesting significant changes in average prices or the product value mix over the period.

External trade played a supplementary role, with import volumes falling notably from over 1 000 t in 2019 to around 650 t in 2020-2021 before a modest recovery. Export volumes remained minimal throughout, having a negligible impact on overall market supply.
