Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh edible brassicas in Croatia opened at 50 502 t in 2018, supported by growing consumer demand for fresh vegetables driven by health and eco-food trends, as well as increased digital information promoting fresh produce consumption. However, market volume dipped to 45 738 t in 2019 before recovering to 48 720 t in 2020.

After a further decline to 45 226 t in 2021, the market contracted to 40 803 t in 2022. A turnaround occurred in 2023, with volume rising to 42 482 t, coinciding with the expansion of retail chains like Konzum and Lidl and higher food retail revenues, which improved the availability and distribution of fresh vegetables. In value terms, the market reached 39.3 million USD in 2023, partly influenced by inflationary pressures in the FMCG sector.
