Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh, chilled, frozen or dried taro in Sierra Leone showed a gradual contraction from 2018 to 2023, with total volume falling from 3 095 tonnes to 2 893 tonnes. This decline occurred in a market entirely supplied by domestic production, as import and export activities were negligible throughout the period.

After near-stable volumes in 2018 and 2019, the market entered a phase of moderate decline starting in 2020. The most pronounced drop took place in 2021, when volume decreased by over 100 tonnes to 2 976 tonnes. Subsequent years saw a continued but slower contraction, with annual reductions tapering to around 40-45 tonnes by 2023.

The overall reduction in market volume amounted to approximately 6.5% over the six-year span. The absence of international trade meant that domestic production levels directly dictated the available supply for local consumption.
