Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market volume in El Salvador showed a slight decline to 65 057 t in 2019, followed by stabilization in 2020. A significant surge occurred in 2021, lifting the market to 79 697 t, and growth continued through 2022 and 2023, reaching 87 609 t.

Government price and production monitoring for the basic food basket helped maintain stable demand conditions in 2022. The following year, heat waves and a reduction in cultivated area decreased domestic vegetable output, including cabbages, which increased reliance on imports to meet consumption. Simultaneously, the implementation of weekend markets by the authorities facilitated direct sales from producers to consumers at affordable prices, supporting overall market volume.
