Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, Pakistan's frozen vegetables production expanded significantly from 134 thousand tons to 165.1 thousand tons, driven by rising export volumes which reached 77.6 thousand tons. This growth in outward shipments supported an increase in domestic market size from 84.1 thousand tons to 88.2 thousand tons, even as import volumes fell to minimal levels.

A sharp reversal occurred in 2021 when production dropped to 67.3 thousand tons and exports collapsed to 6.8 thousand tons, reducing the market volume to 61 thousand tons. The market partially recovered to 69.1 thousand tons in 2022, but contracted again to 63.4 thousand tons in 2023 as export volumes remained volatile and production stayed below pre-2021 levels.
