Strong interest in Chinese cabbage on the Polish market

2021-04-23 11:52
Demand for Chinese cabbage in the Polish wholesale market remains high compared to the scarce offer , both for the cabbage from last year's harvest and the much sought-after young cabbage. On its own, this demand may not be record high, as the government's continued blockade of the HoReCa sector continues to have a disastrous effect on vegetable sales, but with supplies of nice cabbage from the 2020 harvest already very limited and small quantities of young cabbage, such buyer interest has been enough to generate historically high prices, which are still being maintained.
 
 
Large wholesale selling prices for nice green/seasoned Chinese cabbage are now PLN 4.50-6.00/kg and, as you can see from the graph, this has not been the case for at least twelve years. Normally, at this time of year, Polish young Chinese cabbage would be available on the market, which in addition to imports would reduce the prices of "old" cabbage.
 
This year, however, the season of young cabbage in Poland has been delayed by cold and rainy weather. The first sales offers have appeared, but only in the last two to three days and these are single offers. Imported baby chinese cabbage is also scarce. Prices for such young cabbage start at around 4 zlotys per kilo and have not fallen so far.
