Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh edible brassicas in Syria fluctuated significantly between 2018 and 2023, starting at 77.1 thousand tons in 2018 and peaking at 97.4 thousand tons in 2021. A sharp decline of 30% followed in 2022, dropping to 68.2 thousand tons, before a strong recovery of 35% brought the market to 91.9 thousand tons in 2023.

The market rebound in 2023 occurred alongside a steep increase in prices for fresh vegetables due to currency depreciation and rising production costs. In 2024, the government banned imports of basic vegetables to curb price hikes and protect domestic output, while new packaging and storage standards were issued, and ongoing conflict coupled with climate change continued to strain agricultural production.
