Earlier Report Observations

The ASEAN fresh or chilled potato market volume demonstrated relative stability from 2018 to 2021, moving between 2 767 and 2 835 thousand tonnes. A minor contraction occurred in 2020, followed by a recovery the next year.

A pronounced expansion to 3 052 thousand tonnes took place in 2022. This surge was primarily driven by increased urbanization and shifting dietary habits across the region, which elevated demand for convenient chilled potato products. The market then retracted to 2 801 thousand tonnes in 2023.
