In 2023, global import of fresh or chilled witloof chicory was dominated by Italy, Germany, and Belgium. Germany and Belgium posted declines while Italy's share slightly decreased. Poland saw a significant increase, contributing to its rising market share. Conversely, Switzerland, Japan, and the UK experienced reductions. Ukraine, Israel, and Croatia demonstrated notable growth, projecting positive trends. Interestingly, Hungary faced a substantial decline.
