Earlier Report Observations

The fresh tomato market in Indonesia expanded consistently from 977 thousand metric tons in 2018 to 1,114 thousand metric tons in 2021. During this period, a gradual shift in consumer preferences began to emerge, with some demand moving toward instant seasonings and processed tomato products, even as the market for fresh tomatoes continued to grow.

In 2022, market volume reached 1,169 thousand metric tons, supported by local government initiatives such as a horticultural development program in West Halmahera Regency, which was launched in response to rising domestic and regional demand for fresh tomatoes.

The market experienced a slight contraction to 1,143 thousand metric tons in 2023. The industry focused on adopting high-yield, disease-resistant varieties like Mirah and Opal, recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture, and invested in post-harvest technologies such as edible coatings and modified atmosphere storage to extend shelf life and improve distribution efficiency.
