Earlier Report Observations

The Australian cabbage market volume contracted substantially from 90 817 tonnes in 2018 to 61 997 tonnes by 2023. This decline was most pronounced in 2021, when the market size fell to a low of 58 503 tonnes.

A sustained drop in domestic production, which decreased by approximately one-third over the period, was the primary driver of the overall market reduction. While exports also gradually declined, import volumes remained negligible and did not alter the market's downward trajectory.
