Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled carrots and turnips in MERCOSUR grew consistently from 2018 to 2022, with market volume rising from 327.5 thousand tons to 340.4 thousand tons. Production increased steadily over this period, from 326.3 thousand tons to 339.9 thousand tons, contributing to the overall expansion.

In 2021, the market reached 340.1 thousand tons, supported by ongoing economic and commercial integration among MERCOSUR's founding members, including joint initiatives like developing common methodologies for strategic sectors. Market volume stabilized at 340.4 thousand tons in 2022 and remained there in 2023, as advancing negotiations for the MERCOSUR-European Union trade agreement raised expectations for improved access of agricultural products to the European market, helping to sustain market activity.

In 2024, climate change and extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and excessive rainfall, affected carrot production in Brazil—the bloc's main producer—impacting regional supply. Additionally, Bolivia's accession as a full MERCOSUR member expanded the regional market, influencing trade dynamics for fresh vegetables.
