Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh cauliflowers and broccoli in Kuwait declined from 23 551 t in 2018 to a low of 10 113 t in 2022, before rebounding to 15 283 t in 2023.

This contraction was driven by a substantial drop in domestic production, which fell from 13 252 t in 2018 to 6 210 t in 2022, and a sharp reduction in imports, which plummeted from 10 299 t to 3 903 t over the same period. The market recovery in 2023 coincided with a rise in both production to 7 062 t and imports to 8 221 t.

In 2024, import volumes continued to grow, reaching 9 124 t. This upward trend in trade occurred alongside broader economic and regulatory developments in Kuwait, including fluctuations in the oil market and the expansion of central market activities by major food industry players.
