Hello,

Org only supports vanilla markdown out of the box. So there is no table
conversion available (it is exported as HTML since vanilla markdown
does support raw HTML).

Various ELPA provide more advanced markdown conversion. The OP may use
those.

Since Org table and expected markdown tables are identical, another
option is to force to export raw tables by surronding them within
a #+begin_export md...#+end_export md block.

This can be done automatically in a dedicated hook, e.g.,
`org-export-before-parsing-hook'. See manual for details.
