Earlier Report Observations

Taro production in Solomon Islands, which defines the market size as there were no imports or exports, increased gradually from 44 910 metric tons in 2018 to 46 134 metric tons in 2021. After a slight dip to 45 896 metric tons in 2022, output stabilized at 46 002 metric tons in 2023, reflecting overall resilience in this staple crop sector.
