Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in the CIS region saw moderate growth in 2019, with volume reaching 4.9 million tons, before declining in 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by sanctions and a reduction in planting areas among small household farms, which constrained domestic supply and pulled the market volume down to 4.7 million tons.

A sharp contraction followed in 2021 as planted area for cabbage shrank significantly, reducing the market volume to 4.3 million tons. The market rebounded in 2022 when domestic producers expanded cultivation areas and imports surged by 46% from key suppliers like China, Uzbekistan, and Turkey, boosting overall availability to 4.6 million tons.

Growth continued in 2023, with the market volume climbing to 4.9 million tons amid rising prices and stable supply conditions in the competitive fresh vegetable sector.
