Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh cucumbers and gherkins in Northern America declined substantially from 560.0 thousand tons in 2018 to 340.2 thousand tons in 2023, a contraction of over 39%. The most pronounced drop occurred in 2020, when the market fell by nearly 30% to 356.9 thousand tons. While a partial recovery followed in 2021, the subsequent years saw a return to a gradual downward trend.

This overall contraction in domestic availability was shaped by opposing movements in trade flows. Export volumes grew consistently from 247.3 thousand tons in 2018 to 401.8 thousand tons in 2023, redirecting a larger share of production abroad. Concurrently, import volumes nearly halved, falling from 49.2 thousand tons to 31.1 thousand tons over the same period. Domestic production itself was volatile, hitting a low of 624.9 thousand tons in 2020 before recovering to 710.9 thousand tons by 2023.

In monetary terms, the market's value showed a different trajectory, declining by 23% from $617.6 million in 2018 to $474.5 million in 2023. However, after a sharp fall in 2020, the market value recorded three consecutive years of growth from 2021 to 2023, indicating rising average prices even as physical volumes continued to shrink.
