Carrots and turnips market in Eastern Europe (including Northern Asia)

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market volume for fresh carrots and turnips in Eastern Europe increased from 3 794 thousand tons to 3 983 thousand tons. This growth was driven by rising consumer demand for healthy products, including organic carrots and carrot juices, alongside government support programs for vegetable growing in regions like Stavropol Krai, which aimed to double vegetable production by 2024. However, in 2020, the market contracted to 3 712 thousand tons due to supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which impaired logistics and availability.

In 2021, the market volume declined further to 3 555 thousand tons. By 2022, it stabilized at 3 585 thousand tons and showed moderate growth to 3 636 thousand tons in 2023. This recovery period was accompanied by ongoing consumer interest in organic and innovative carrot products, as well as changes in distribution and retail regulations aimed at optimizing supply chains and reducing losses.
