Earlier Report Observations

Yam production and market size in Congo showed remarkable stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual output hovering close to 16,000 tonnes. The market volume experienced minor fluctuations, influenced by small export shipments which peaked in 2019 before ceasing by 2023.

The establishment of the Harmonized Consumer Price Index (IHPC) base year in 2018 improved the tracking of food price inflation, including for yams, across several regions. By 2023, the agricultural sector's gradual increase in its contribution to the national GDP provided a backdrop of slow sectoral development, supporting consistent yam production levels throughout the period.
