Not further prepared dried vegetables market in Germany

Earlier Report Observations

The market for not further prepared dried vegetables in Germany showed robust growth from 2019 to 2021, with its size increasing from 183.2 million USD to 273.4 million USD. This expansion was driven by a rise in domestic production, which reached 178.1 million USD in 2021, and growing imports, which exceeded 295 million USD that same year.

In the following years, the sector was influenced by structural changes in vegetable farming, including farm consolidation and larger cultivation areas. Unfavorable weather in 2023 reduced organic vegetable yields, while favorable conditions boosted legume harvests. By 2024, new EU marketing standards for dried products were announced, and consumer prices eased after earlier increases, with stable demand despite supply fluctuations.
