Cauliflower Prices Rise at Bronisze: Limited Supply, 2026 Harvest Down

Wholesale cauliflower prices at Bronisze on 5 August 2026 reached €0.8–1.0 per piece (3.5–4.5 PLN), reflecting reduced supply and weather-affected harvests in Poland.

On 5 August 2026 at the Bronisze wholesale market near Warsaw, cauliflower was offered at €0.8–1.0 per head (3.5–4.5 PLN), showing firm prices amid a period of limited supply. Traders report that volumes remain below average for this time of year, with buyer demand steady but unable to be fully met due to reduced local availability.

According to initial estimates by the Central Statistical Office (GUS), the total cauliflower harvest in Poland is forecast at approximately 105,000 tonnes for 2026. This is below last year's result and reflects an overall 4.5% decline in field vegetable output, attributed largely to adverse weather conditions during the growing season.

Polish growers experienced challenging weather in spring, with cold spells and low rainfall delaying field work and causing uneven crop emergence. Further stress was added by late April frosts, which damaged early plantings in several regions. While rainfall improved in June and July, a late-June heatwave again stressed crops, and increased fungal disease and pest pressure required intensified crop protection.

The domestic market continues to rely predominantly on local cauliflower, with no significant import volumes reported for this product in the current period. Wholesale demand remains firm, supported by the summer vegetable season and steady interest from retailers and foodservice buyers.

GUS data also indicates reduced production forecasts for most major field vegetables in 2026, including cabbage, onions, carrots, and broccoli, suggesting a tight market for fresh domestic brassicas through late summer.
