Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market volume in Nicaragua increased from 70 312 t in 2018 to a peak of 73 859 t in 2020, then experienced fluctuations, ending at 71 996 t in 2023. This represented overall growth of 2.4% over the six-year period, with notable declines in 2021 and 2023.

The market contraction in 2023 to 72 000 t was primarily driven by the El Niño weather phenomenon, which brought scarce rainfall and high temperatures, reducing cabbage yields. Simultaneously, elevated prices for agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and seeds likely prompted growers to limit planting areas to control production costs.
