China Leads Global Carrot & Turnip Imports: Market Trends

Abstract

China accounts for the largest amount of carrot and turnip imports in global agriculture in 2021, at 33.1 megatons. Looking at the trends so far, China is an active importer and has established itself as a major player in agriculture. Meanwhile, other countries are also importing agricultural products in response to demand, intensifying competition in the global market. This trend is influenced by increasing demand due to population growth and changing dietary habits, and sustainable agricultural production and international trade are becoming increasingly important. In addition, differences in climatic conditions and agricultural policies in each region affect import volumes, calling for diversification of supply sources in the international market. In the future, the market may fluctuate due to factors such as climate change and changes in trade policies, so agricultural-related businesses need to keep a close eye on market trends and develop appropriate strategies.

Carrot and turnip import volumes (worldwide)

Considering the import volume data for carrots and turnips from 1961 to 2021, China’s imports show a notable increase. China achieved an astounding 33.1 megatons in 2021, which represents a 100% increase compared to the peak. This increase reflects the growing demand for high-quality agricultural products due to changes in eating habits along with China’s economic growth. Meanwhile, other countries are also importing in response to demand, intensifying competition in the global market. Looking at the trends to date, population growth and increasing urbanization are driving demand. Factors such as climate change and natural disasters can also have an impact, bringing instability to supply. Under these circumstances, agricultural producing countries are seeking policies to promote sustainable production and international trade. Going forward, changes in demand and policy trends in major importing countries, including China, will have a significant impact on the market.
