Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the fresh potato market in Niger underwent a powerful expansion, with total volume climbing from 174.3 thousand tons to 485.8 thousand tons, effectively nearly tripling in size. The growth trajectory was not uniform, featuring an accelerated phase in 2021 when the market jumped by over 40% to 346.9 thousand tons, and another strong surge of 33% in 2023 to reach 485.8 thousand tons. This remarkable increase was fundamentally driven by a sharp rise in domestic potato production, which more than doubled from 168.6 to 481.3 thousand tons over the period, while imports remained low and gradually declined, playing a negligible role in the overall market growth.
