In 2023, China significantly dominated global chicory and lettuce production, with the highest production value, followed by the United States and India. Notable positive growth was seen in Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Mexico, among others. Portugal, Niger, and Iraq experienced substantial annual growth, indicating a shift in production capacities. Countries like Japan, Germany, and Lebanon saw notable declines, reflecting potential changes in agricultural focus or market demands over recent years.
Future trends to observe include increasing production activities in emerging markets like Iran, Niger, and Malaysia, potentially driven by evolving agricultural practices and increasing demand. Conversely, watch for strategic shifts in countries experiencing decreased growth to reclaim their competitive production status.
