Earlier Report Observations

The Gabonese fresh tomato market began the period with the creation of the Gabonese Food Safety Agency (AGASA) in 2018, which introduced regulatory oversight for food safety and quality. Domestic production nevertheless eased from 361.2 t in 2018 to 345.5 t in 2020, and total market volume dipped from 373.2 t to 355.2 t.

A memorandum of understanding with the FAO on post-harvest management and marketing in 2021 helped improve supply-chain efficiency, contributing to a stabilization of production around 346 t from 2021 to 2023. Market volume rebounded to 362.3 t in 2021 and peaked at 366.8 t in 2022, coinciding with a 4.9% expansion of the overall agricultural sector.

Regulatory measures continued with the temporary suspension of certain duties and taxes in 2023, aimed at lowering distribution costs, and the launch of the 'One Gabonese = One Shop' initiative to bolster local retail networks. In 2024, the establishment of the Gabon Agriculture and Livestock Society marked another step toward strengthening institutional support for domestic tomato cultivation.
