Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for primary sugar crops in Polynesia experienced a steady upward trend from 2018 to 2023, rising from 3 446 t to 3 565 t. This consistent growth was underpinned by long-term policy planning, initiated with the draft of the Agricultural Master Plan 2021-2030, which aimed to reinforce food sovereignty and specifically support local sugar crop sectors through targeted investments and modernization aid.

Direct state intervention played a crucial role, including continued budgetary funding for agricultural training and equipment, as well as the adoption of the 2020-20 tax law that provided fiscal advantages to sugar crop farmers. Infrastructure development, such as public tenders for the construction of storage hangars and irrigation networks, improved logistics and processing capacity for raw sugar, directly contributing to the expansion of production volumes.

Concurrently, regulatory frameworks evolved to enhance product value. The implementation of organic certification rules from 2011 and ongoing work to establish geographical indications and quality labels for cane sugar created opportunities for market differentiation, supporting farm profitability and encouraging sustained cultivation despite a broader decline in the number of agricultural holdings.
