Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh carrots and turnips in India expanded from 1 648 thousand tons in 2018 to 2 398 thousand tons in 2023, representing a 45% increase over the six-year period. Growth was steady with a notable acceleration in 2022 and 2023, where volume rose by over 400 thousand tons. In value terms, the market rose from $719 million in 2018 to a peak of $1.13 billion in 2020, then stabilized between $1.13 billion and $1.16 billion before a slight dip to $1.11 billion in 2023.

A key driver in 2023 was the concentrated production in major agricultural states such as Haryana, which alone produced 386 thousand tons of carrots annually. The state's favorable climatic conditions and established farming practices supported high yields, directly contributing to the national supply. Furthermore, increased export activity for vegetables, led by companies like Pisum Food Services, reflected growing international demand, which provided an additional channel for domestic produce and stimulated further market growth.
