Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the Latvian market for cucumbers and gherkins experienced initial growth in volume, reaching a high point in 2019. Subsequently, volumes stabilized for several years before a more noticeable contraction in 2023. This movement was influenced by variable domestic production, which rose until 2020 but then declined, particularly in the final year, alongside steadily growing imports.

Despite the volatile volume trajectory, the market's value in US dollars grew consistently throughout the period. It increased from $15.7 million in 2018 to $22.7 million in 2023, suggesting that higher prices or a changing product mix supported value growth even when physical consumption fluctuated.
