Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the fresh watermelons and melons market in the Cook Islands experienced notable fluctuations. The market volume peaked at 69 336 kg in 2019, driven by a significant increase in imports that year.

A sharp contraction followed in 2020, with the market shrinking by 8% to 63 821 kg, corresponding with lower domestic production and reduced import volumes. The market then entered a phase of gradual recovery over the next three years, reaching 66 941 kg by 2023, supported by stabilizing production and a rebound in imports.

Throughout the period, domestic production remained the primary supply source, averaging around 64 000 kg annually, while import levels were volatile, reflecting changes in external supply conditions.
