Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh spinach in Congo experienced gradual growth from 2018 to 2020, with volumes rising from 972.3 t to 980.9 t. Stability followed in 2021, before a minor dip to 973.9 t in 2022, primarily due to increased exports that year. A recovery in 2023 brought the market volume to 981.8 t.

In 2024, rising prices for frozen foods in Kinshasa, including fresh products, indirectly affected the fresh spinach market. This price increase, linked to challenges in implementing government measures on essential goods, pointed to broader economic pressures influencing consumer spending.
