Cauliflowers and broccoli market Turkey

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the Turkish cauliflower and broccoli market expanded from 292 thousand tonnes to 328 thousand tonnes. This growth was initially supported by rising health-conscious consumption, as consumers increasingly sought out vegetables known to boost immunity. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 further solidified demand for packaged and nutritious foods, helping stabilize market volume. By 2021, policy efforts promoting organic and local production intensified competition and contributed to additional growth.

Market growth continued through 2022 and 2023, reaching 354 thousand tonnes. On the supply side, the development of new varieties and improved seedling techniques enhanced yields. Simultaneously, the emergence of new product segments, such as broccoli and cauliflower pickles, attracted additional consumer interest. Regulatory updates concerning marketplaces in 2023 also reshaped distribution channels. In 2024, further amendments to marketplace regulations were implemented, while seed and seedling producers remained active, and consumers explored diverse preparation methods from boiling to pickling.
