Earlier Report Observations

The Polish cabbage market experienced a sustained contraction in volume from 2018 to 2023, with total consumption falling from 930.7 thousand tons to 608.5 thousand tons. This decline was mirrored by a drop in domestic production from 985.4 thousand tons to 666.2 thousand tons over the same period.

From 2022, specific pressures intensified the market's downturn. A deepening agricultural drought limited harvests, as cabbage's high water requirements led to production falling to its lowest level in years. Concurrently, robust export growth, particularly to Czechia and Slovakia, diverted substantial supply away from the domestic market. This was compounded by a long-term shift in Polish culinary habits, with consumers gradually reducing their intake of white head cabbage, further curbing overall demand.
