Earlier Report Observations

The tomato market in the Bahamas experienced overall growth in volume from 2018 to 2023, rising from 8 475 tons to 9 818 tons. This expansion was not uniform, with a slight dip in 2019 followed by several years of increase. The market reached its highest point in 2022 at 9 807 tons before stabilizing in 2023.

Domestic tomato production remained relatively steady throughout the period, fluctuating between 7 300 and 7 600 tons annually. The growth in total market volume was primarily supported by a substantial rise in imports, which more than doubled from 816 tons in 2019 to 2 230 tons by 2023. This increase in imported volumes offset the stable domestic output and drove the market's overall expansion.
