Earlier Report Observations
From 2018 to 2020, the taro market volume in Dominica grew from 22 055 metric tons to 22 879 metric tons. The increase in 2020 coincided with a drop in the price to US$1.31 per kg, which likely encouraged higher consumption and supported the expansion of total market volume.
Market volume then contracted to 22 493 metric tons in 2021 as the price rose to US$1.41 per kg, dampening demand. Over the next two years, volume stabilized, reaching 22 639 metric tons in 2022 and 22 671 metric tons in 2023, indicating a period of steady market activity without major price shifts.
In 2024, Dominica began exporting taro, shipping 240 metric tons primarily to the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Average export prices remained under US$0.1 per ton, reflecting competitive pricing as the country entered new international markets.
