Earlier Report Observations

The European cabbage market volume increased from 9 315 тыс. т in 2018 to a peak of 9 978 тыс. т in 2019, then declined over the following years, reaching 8 686 тыс. т in 2022. The market stabilized in 2023 at 8 709 тыс. т, showing only a marginal change from the previous year.

In 2024, the market was influenced by a growing consumer preference for healthy and plant-based foods, which stimulated demand for cabbage products. This trend supported the emergence of new segments like packaged cabbage snacks, while in Poland, early-season supply was dominated by imported young cabbage from Southern Europe, highlighting ongoing shifts in regional trade flows.
