Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled edible brassicas in Denmark expanded to 77 519 t in 2020, a growth supported by a global decline in exports that year, which increased the volume available for domestic consumption.

A subsequent contraction brought the market size down to 58 156 t by 2022. This drop was primarily driven by a 2.1% decrease in the domestic yield of cabbage and other brassicas in 2022, which constrained supply.

A modest recovery to 59 540 t occurred in 2023, coinciding with the launch of Denmark's first national action plan for plant-based foods. This initiative promoted the production and consumption of vegetables like brassicas by emphasizing healthier and more sustainable dietary choices.
