Earlier Report Observations

The Estonian market for fresh carrots and turnips expanded significantly from 2018 to 2020, with total volume rising from 16 498 tonnes to 22 500 tonnes. This growth was supported by the implementation of improved cultivation practices, including diversified sowing schedules to ensure steady supply and optimized harvest timing coupled with better storage methods, which enhanced domestic production efficiency and quality.

After reaching its peak in 2020, the market contracted over the following years, with production dropping from 20 010 tonnes to 10 030 tonnes by 2023 and overall consumption declining to 14 214 tonnes. Imports remained relatively stable during this period, indicating a shift in the balance between domestic output and foreign supply.
