Dried shelled peas market in Austria

Earlier Report Observations

The Austrian dried shelled peas market volume declined from 20 784 t in 2018 to 15 565 t in 2020. This contraction occurred without specific reported market drivers for those years.

Recovery began in 2021, supported by high demand for legumes for animal feed due to protein needs and lower harvests of beans and peas. Market volume expanded to 19 610 t in 2022, aided by broader increases in grain production area and yield, while rising prices for organic peas due to a smaller organic grain harvest and increased processing boosted market value. In 2023, despite an above-average grain harvest, market volatility linked to uncertain grain supplies from Ukraine contributed to a slight reduction in volume to 19 097 t.
