Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh spinach in Hong Kong displayed considerable stability between 2018 and 2022, moving within a narrow band of 12 930 t to 13 031 t. This steady trend was underpinned by consistent domestic production hovering around 12 800 t, while import levels varied. After a minor dip in 2021, the market recovered to 13 021 t in 2022. A distinct change occurred in 2023, with the market volume rising by 2.6% to reach 13 359 t, a shift driven entirely by a substantial increase in imports, which surged to 573 t.

In 2024, import volumes fell sharply to 66 t. Key factors observed during this period include volatility in global supply chains and climate-related disruptions, which directly affect import channels and spinach availability. Concurrently, ongoing digital transformation within retail and growing consumer demand for healthy, organic produce continue to shape the market's structure and efficiency.
