Beans market in Luxembourg

Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled beans in Luxembourg grew steadily from 394 t in 2018 to 454 t in 2020. This expansion was supported by a retail network that increased its number of food outlets, including specialized and organic stores, improving the availability and access to fresh beans for consumers. Concurrently, a rising consumer preference for local and seasonal produce, despite low domestic production, helped sustain demand.

After peaking in 2020, the market volume contracted over the next two years, falling to 359 t in 2022. This decline reflected a broader adjustment in consumption patterns without specific driving events highlighted in available sources.

A recovery occurred in 2023, with the market rebounding to 406 t. During this period, fresh fruit and vegetable prices rose significantly, with conventional produce seeing a 16% increase over the year, which affected household spending but did not curb volume growth. The ongoing trend toward local, organic, and traceable products, endorsed by national labels, continued to shape consumer choices in the bean market.
