Earlier Report Observations

The Caribbean market for fresh or chilled spinach experienced fluctuations in volume between 2018 and 2023, starting at 18 567 t and reaching a peak of 19 730 t in 2022 before declining to 17 755 t in 2023. After a period of relative stability, the market grew steadily in 2021 and 2022.

The rise to 19 730 t in 2022 was supported by an expansion of spinach harvested area across the region and increased import activity, with Mexico, the Bahamas, and Trinidad and Tobago showing positive growth as suppliers to the Caribbean market.

Broader regional trends indicated a shift in consumer preference toward healthier, organic spinach varieties, influencing market dynamics in later years.
