Production

Summary of available production information for the three primary staple foods commodity groups: Fruits, Vegetables, and Livestock/Dairy.

A concerning trend is the declining acreage of crops like avocados and bananas, highlighting the urgent need for interventions to address issues such as disease management, market access, and labor availability. These declines suggest underlying problems that, if left unaddressed, could significantly impact the island's fruit production capacity. On the other hand, there are promising signs of growth and diversification in the fruit sector. The expansion of mango, lychee, and longan production presents opportunities for further development and market expansion.
