Earlier Report Observations

The volume of the unroasted, not decaffeinated coffee market in Cabo Verde declined from 746 t in 2018 to 557 t in 2020. During this period, the government adopted policies to reorganize the economy towards a freer market, while coffee cultivation on Santo Antão and Fogo islands faced prolonged droughts and logistical difficulties, keeping domestic production low and irregular.

Market volume partially recovered to 606 t by 2022, supported by imported coffee. Local production remained vulnerable to inconsistent rainfall, which limited its ability to meet demand, as highlighted in 2021 when output stayed weak due to weather dependency.

In 2023, the market shrank to 506 t. Demand for Fogo coffee remained high, but the local harvest fell sharply to 17 t due to damaging high temperatures, disorganized harvesting, and high labor costs. By 2024, key producer Fogo Coffee Spirit had to deny closure rumors and cut costs, reflecting ongoing sector pressures, while the tourism-dependent economy and external inflation continued to affect purchasing power.
