The American carrot and turnip market decreased by -7% to $1.8B in 2020. This slump was due to lower demand from the HoReCa sector hampered by the pandemic. The domestic production dropped in line with the demand, with the harvested area reduced by -3.3% y-o-y. Imports also plunged, while export remained stable despite the drop in output. Mexico, Canada and Israel continue to supply the majority of the U.S. carrot and turnip imports, but overall, the market is dominated by domestic producers.
