Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market volume in Cuba dropped sharply from 113 thousand tons in 2018 to 52.2 thousand tons in 2020. This decline was primarily driven by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted the national economy and agricultural production, alongside existing external economic pressures.

After the initial shock, the market stabilized around 52 thousand tons between 2020 and 2022, with a slight increase to 52.4 thousand tons in 2022. The persistence of accumulated external and internal factors, including the U.S. economic blockade, maintained constraints on production recovery during this period.

In 2023, the market volume edged down to 51 thousand tons, pressured by a severe deficit of agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and fuels, coupled with high food prices that affected consumer purchasing power. By 2024, these challenges continued, with ongoing shortages and the approval of new private economic actors participating in food production and wholesale trade under updated regulations.
