In the past year, the import trend for coconut oil in the Gambia market showed a steady increase. This growth was driven by rising consumer demand for natural and organic products, as well as the expanding popularity of coconut oil for various health and beauty applications.
By 2027, the Coconut Oil market in Gambia is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 5.75%, as part of an increasingly competitive Africa region, where Egypt remains at the forefront, supported by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria, driving innovations and market adoption across sectors.

Coconut oil plays a vital role in Gambias food and cosmetics industries. Known for its nutritional and skincare benefits, coconut oil is in high demand, with local production supplemented by imports. The market is supported by a growing interest in natural and organic products, creating avenues for further expansion in both the domestic and export sectors.
The coconut oil market in Gambia has potential for growth, as coconut oil is widely used in food production, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. With the growing global trend toward natural and organic products, the demand for coconut oil may increase, both locally and internationally. Gambias favorable climate for coconut cultivation positions the country to expand its coconut oil production and export potential, supporting the growth of this market.
The coconut oil market in Gambia is constrained by limited local coconut production and the country`s reliance on imports. Gambia does not have large-scale coconut plantations, which affects the supply of raw materials for coconut oil production. The market is also limited by the small size of the local cosmetics and food industries, which reduces the demand for coconut oil products. Additionally, the importation of cheaper alternatives makes it difficult for locally produced coconut oil to compete in terms of price.
Coconut oil production is vital for Gambias agricultural sector. The government would likely incentivize sustainable coconut farming and oil production practices. Policies would focus on promoting the export of high-quality coconut oil, while also ensuring that local production does not lead to environmental harm and benefits local communities.
