Earlier Report Observations

The yam market in New Caledonia began the period at 2 059 t in 2018. The closure of the OCEF local processing plant in 2013 continued to limit transformation capacity, while the deep cultural and ceremonial significance of yams within Kanak traditions provided a stable base for local demand.

Market volume fluctuated moderately over the following years, declining to 1 929 t by 2023. A brief recovery to 2 043 t occurred in 2020, but the overall trend was a gradual contraction in production volumes.

Customs regulations allowing the import of fresh, chilled, frozen, or prepared yams frame the market's competitive landscape. Local production and distribution are influenced by specific cultivation and storage conditions, and demand is reinforced by traditional events like the annual yam festival in the Loyalty Islands.
