Earlier Report Observations

The yam market in Solomon Islands demonstrated notable stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual volume consistently hovering around 45,000 tonnes. Overall market size showed minimal net change over the six-year period, indicating a resilient domestic production base largely insulated from international trade, as imports and exports remained negligible.

After a slight contraction to 44,450 tonnes in 2019, the market recovered in 2020 and entered a phase of even greater stability. Volumes fluctuated by less than 1% annually from 2021 onward, settling at 45,122 tonnes in 2023. This pattern reflects a market that successfully absorbed minor annual variances without significant disruption to its total output.
