Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh edible brassicas in the United States showed significant volume fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Overall market size grew from 2.2 million tons in 2018 to a high of 2.6 million tons in 2022, with intermediate contractions in 2021 and 2023 altering the upward trajectory.

This volatility was influenced by shifts in domestic production and import flows. Production reached 2.2 million tons in 2020 before declining, while imports steadily increased from 498 thousand tons to 691 thousand tons over the period, cushioning but not fully offsetting the dips in output.
