Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in Uruguay expanded steadily from 2018 to 2023, with volume rising from 3 755 t to 3 890 t. This growth was supported by the country's favorable agricultural conditions, including abundant arable land and government policies that encourage agro-industrial exports without restrictions.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted global agricultural trade, but cabbage production remained resilient, continuing its upward trend. In 2021, market volume peaked at 3 935 t, partly due to increased imports as supply chains recovered in the post-pandemic period.

After a slight contraction in 2022, the market recovered in 2023, reflecting stable domestic output and consistent local consumption. Throughout these years, no major regulatory changes specific to cabbages were introduced, allowing the market to follow its organic trajectory.
