Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh watermelons in Guyana experienced significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Production and market volume fell sharply in 2019 but then rebounded strongly, more than doubling to surpass 32 000 t by 2022. This upward trend reversed in 2023, with output contracting to just under 30 000 t.

The market's peak in 2022 was supported by concrete government actions to boost agricultural output. Substantial public investment in drainage and irrigation upgrades improved water supply for farming, while initiatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and the state-owned Guyana Marketing Corporation worked to link local producers with new regional sales channels, helping to sustain high production levels.
