Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled edible brassicas in SADC saw strong expansion from 2018 to 2020, with production rising from 1 143 thousand tons to 1 456 thousand tons and market size growing similarly. After a slight dip of about 2% in 2021, volumes recovered steadily, reaching 1 513 thousand tons of production and a 1 518 thousand ton market by 2023.

Regulatory scrutiny increased in 2023 with the launch of South Africa's Fresh Produce Market Inquiry, aimed at investigating competition barriers in the fresh produce value chain. This period also coincided with a clear shift in consumer preferences towards healthier, plant-based foods, which bolstered demand for fresh vegetables and contributed to the market's resilience and growth trend into 2024.
