Earlier Report Observations

The fresh pea market in Portugal exhibited variable dynamics from 2018 to 2021. Initial production stability was supported by the cultivation of local varieties adapted to the climate, such as Rondo and Progresso n.°9, and specific agricultural practices including hilling for root support. Market volume declined in 2019 but recovered sharply to 15 695 t in 2020, driven by increased demand from vegan, vegetarian, and sports consumers seeking high-protein options, alongside a growing supply of frozen and canned peas that diversified the product range.

In 2021, the LeguCON project launched to boost legume production through science-citizen participation, aiming to strengthen local pea output, although market volume eased slightly to 15 026 t. A steep contraction followed, with the market falling to 8 018 t in 2022 and 7 847 t in 2023. Concurrently, pea imports rose steadily, reaching over 2 400 t by 2024, indicating growing reliance on foreign supplies as domestic production diminished.
