Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh or chilled edible brassicas in Ecuador showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. It began at 200.5 thousand tons in 2018, fell to 182.0 thousand tons in 2019, then rose to 195.1 thousand tons in 2020. A severe drop occurred in 2021, bringing the market down to 141.9 thousand tons, followed by a modest recovery to 147.3 thousand tons in 2022 and a sharp increase to 209.3 thousand tons in 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 created economic headwinds in Ecuador, with a significant sales decline reported in the beverage industry during the first half of the year. This reflected broader challenges that could have impacted agricultural sectors, yet the edible brassicas market expanded in 2020.

The market's strong expansion in 2023, reaching its highest level in the period at over 209 thousand tons, marked a notable rebound from the lower volumes seen in 2021 and 2022.
