Earlier Report Observations

The market for chicory roots in Ukraine gradually contracted from 2018 to 2021, with annual production decreasing from approximately 6.3 thousand tons to just over 6.0 thousand tons. This decline was primarily driven by the supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which affected vegetable processing sectors, followed by persistent logistical difficulties in sourcing fresh vegetables for drying in 2021.

Market volume stabilized and began a modest recovery in 2022 and 2023, reaching about 6.1 thousand tons. The full-scale invasion in 2022 severely impacted agricultural production and led to the occupation of key growing regions. However, this was counterbalanced by a significant rise in consumer demand for frozen and shelf-stable food products, including chicory, due to their economic and storage advantages. Furthermore, a continued trend toward healthy eating and products containing prebiotics like inulin provided underlying support for chicory consumption during this period.
