Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for fresh cauliflower and broccoli in Northern America gradually contracted from 1.29 million tons to 1.21 million tons. This trend was initially shaped by a slight reduction in harvested area across U.S. farms, which kept production stable but limited growth. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 introduced indirect disruptions to supply chains and logistics, contributing to a further decline in available volume that year.

After reaching a low of 1.16 million tons in 2021, the market rebounded to 1.29 million tons in 2022, buoyed by persistent consumer demand for healthy and plant-based foods. However, volume fell sharply to 1.09 million tons in 2023. This drop coincided with a reported increase in exports of cauliflower and broccoli from the United States, which reduced domestic supply. During this period, major industry player Mission Pursue entered a strategic partnership to enhance cold-chain logistics and post-harvest handling, aiming to improve product quality for retail and export channels.
