Earlier Report Observations

The Australian market for fresh or chilled edible brassicas saw its volume fluctuate between 179.5 and 220 thousand tons from 2018 to 2023. After a decline in 2019, the market recovered strongly through 2021, dipped slightly in 2022, and returned to growth in 2023, matching the near-peak level of 220 thousand tons.

The market growth in 2023 was supported by the emergence of the greenhouse and vertical farming sector in Australia, which increased demand for specialized brassica seed varieties suited for controlled environments. Furthermore, the development and introduction of new broccoli varieties resistant to Turnip Yellows Virus helped reduce crop losses and supported stable production volumes.
