Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled leguminous vegetables in Portugal showed significant volatility between 2018 and 2023. The market volume reached its highest point in 2021 at 41 884 t, following a recovery from a dip in 2019. This peak was short-lived, as the market contracted sharply over the next two years.

By 2023, the total market size had fallen to 24 721 t, representing a decline of over 40% from the 2021 high. This downturn coincided with a steep drop in domestic production, which more than halved from 2021 to 2023, while import levels remained broadly stable and exports saw a gradual increase.
