Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, sweet potato production in Gabon remained steady at around 3 700 t per year. A slight dip in 2020 coincided with supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, the government also implemented a new seed policy to improve the quality of planting materials for crops like sweet potatoes.

The market grew to over 3 850 t in 2021 following the introduction of a rule requiring food companies to source at least 50% of their inputs locally. This mandate, enforced through the newly created National Chamber of Agriculture, was a key part of the Gabon Vert strategy to reduce import dependency. Local production was thereby stimulated and stabilized at this higher level of around 3 850 to 3 877 t in 2022 and 2023.
