Earlier Report Observations

The taro market in Gabon saw production begin at 88 273 t in 2018, with growth that year supported by the introduction of a reserved public procurement policy for Gabonese-owned SMEs. This measure favored local companies in government tenders, likely boosting demand for domestic agricultural output. Production continued to rise gradually, reaching 89 082 t by 2020.

After a slight dip to 88 734 t in 2021, output recovered to 88 888 t in 2022. This rebound aligned with favorable macroeconomic factors, including rising oil prices, which indirectly stimulated demand in the agricultural sector. In 2023, production edged up to 88 901 t, a period when tax exemptions for certain products under the Finance Law helped maintain cost conditions for local suppliers.
