Earlier Report Observations

The Ethiopian cabbage market volume demonstrated significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. The period opened with relative stability before entering a sustained decline over two consecutive years, reaching its lowest point in 2021. This trend was sharply reversed in 2022, when the market surged to its highest recorded volume, only to contract again the following year.

Overall market size varied by more than 250 000 tons from peak to trough during this period. These shifts were almost entirely attributable to changes in domestic production, as import and export levels remained negligible and did not materially influence supply.
