Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh leguminous vegetables in Australia experienced notable fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. After initial declines, volume rebounded strongly to 70 thousand tonnes in 2021, before contracting sharply over the following two years.

A key driver of the 15% market decline in 2022 was a significant increase in production costs. The Russia-Ukraine war led to higher prices for fertilizers and energy, raising expenses for Australian growers and increasing retail prices for fresh vegetables, which subdued overall market activity.

The downward trend continued into 2023, with the market volume falling a further 10% to 53 thousand tonnes, indicating persistent pressure on production and consumption.
