Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh peas in Belgium grew from 170.5 thousand tons in 2018 to 196.8 thousand tons in 2021. This upward trend was supported by European programs that encouraged the formation of producer organizations, strengthening local production and supply. However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains in 2020, temporarily reducing the market to 181.5 thousand tons.

A severe market contraction followed in 2022, with volume dropping by 24% to 149.3 thousand tons. This sharp decline was driven by the war in Ukraine, which spiked energy and raw material costs, coupled with extreme weather in key producing countries that limited availability. A partial recovery to 157.6 thousand tons occurred in 2023, facilitated by stabilizing energy costs and new legislation that improved small and medium enterprises' access to public procurement, making the supply chain more efficient.
