Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the US aubergine market volume grew moderately, peaking at 163.8 thousand tons in 2020. Increased export activity in 2019, with exports rising by 14.2%, signaled stronger external demand, even as domestic consumption saw a slight dip.

Market value dynamics shifted mid-period: a drop in export prices to $1.39 per kilogram in 2021 contributed to a decline in total market value despite stable volume. However, 2022 brought a sharp recovery, driven by price increases to $1.53 per kilogram and a 9.1% rise in production volume, which pushed both market volume and value significantly higher.

In the latter years, market volume stabilized while value continued to climb. A 51.1% surge in imports from Mexico in 2023 offset plateauing domestic production, ensuring supply. Concurrently, rising export prices and stable yield per hectare supported further market value growth, with reported increases extending into 2024.
