Earlier Report Observations
Ecuador's cabbage market volume decreased from 12 381 metric tons in 2018 to 11 963 metric tons in 2020. The most significant decline occurred in 2020, directly linked to the COVID-19 pandemic's disruption of labor markets and consumer demand, which led to store closures and shifted purchasing behavior.
Production recovered to 12 198 metric tons in 2021, supported by a partial rebound in the labor market and the ongoing expansion of modern retail channels, including discount supermarkets. Output then stabilized around 12 100 metric tons in 2022 and 2023, as global inflationary pressures and high production costs affected the agricultural sector, while the market structure continued to evolve with growing private-label brand presence.
