Earlier Report Observations

After the 2018 Sinabung eruption impacted cabbage production and exports from North Sumatra, the market volume held steady near 1,380 thousand tons. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted supply chains and distribution, leading to a decline to 1,359 thousand tons despite increased local demand for domestic produce.

Market recovery began in 2021, with volume rising to 1,408 thousand tons as production capacities expanded and government-led programs provided guidance to farmers and exporters on meeting international standards. This upward trend accelerated in 2022, reaching 1,471 thousand tons, driven by adjustments in domestic distribution policies and a consumer shift toward fresh, high-quality vegetables.

In 2023, the cabbage market volume dropped to 1,373 thousand tons.
