Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the rice market volume in Comoros showed moderate fluctuations, increasing overall from 53 666 tonnes to 55 984 tonnes. The market reached its peak of 58 782 tonnes in 2021 after two years of growth, but then contracted in 2022 by over 3 000 tonnes.

Domestic rice production remained negligible at less than 7 tonnes annually throughout the period, making the market almost entirely dependent on imports. The variations in import volumes, which closely mirrored the market size, account for the observed volatility, including the 2022 decline and subsequent stabilization in 2023 at 55 984 tonnes.
