Earlier Report Observations

The tomato market in French Polynesia expanded from 875 t in 2018 to a peak of 1 052 t in 2020. Early calls for year-round imports aimed to address local supply and marketing challenges, while the introduction of maximum price controls for tomatoes as essential goods in 2020 supported domestic production and sharply reduced import volumes.

After 2020, market volume gradually contracted to 986 t in 2022 under continued price regulation and simplified procedures for operators. A steep decline followed in 2023, with the market falling to 668 t as local tomato output substantially decreased.
