Maasoever, the only large-scale Dutch frozen vegetable producer, has acquired the Oerlemans Foods facility to increase capacity and diversify product range, responding to growing demand for convenience packaging. The article highlights labor shortages and the need for automation in harvesting crops like cauliflower and leek, which could pressure future supply and production costs.
In 2025, carrot prices showed a general upward trend across major producing regions, driven mainly by tight supply and steady demand. In the early months, prices rose in Ukraine and Uzbekistan as stocks from the previous year’s harvest were depleted faster than expected. Adverse weather during the prior season had reduced yields, limiting availability of high quality carrots and keeping prices firm.
As the year progressed, seasonal changes and early arrival of new harvests influenced local markets. In Uzbekistan, the first batches of fresh carrots reached markets earlier than usual, but prices remained high due to the limited volume and strong demand from wholesalers and retailers. In Ukraine, many producers held back their remaining stocks, hoping to sell later at better rates, which further supported market levels.
Meanwhile, international trade and exports also played a role. Countries like the U.S., China, and parts of Europe maintained consistent demand, keeping prices stable in export markets. Overall, the market saw active buying, cautious selling, and gradual price increases throughout the year, reflecting a balance of strong demand and constrained supply in most regions.

In the second half of 2024, carrot prices showed a strong upward trend in many producing regions, mainly due to lower supply and active demand. During July and August, prices rose as the availability of lower quality carrots dropped, and many farmers held back the best-quality produce, expecting higher returns. Wholesale and retail buyers continued purchasing actively, which supported firm prices.
In September and October, supply remained tight because off-season crops were limited and mid-season varieties were mostly sold out. Delays in harvesting later-season carrots also contributed to price increases. Market operators reported that demand from retail chains and processors remained healthy despite the higher costs, helping maintain steady market activity.
Towards the end of the year, in November and December, prices continued to climb moderately. Limited storage options and cautious sales by large farms kept supply controlled, while seasonal consumer demand and ongoing purchases from urban markets sustained upward momentum. Even with rising prices, the market remained active as buyers focused on securing quality carrots for immediate consumption.
