Foodservice sales of vegetables continued to recover in 2025 thanks to locals dining out more and an increase in inbound tourism. This helped to offset the decline in retail volume sales which was linked to rising prices, increased demand for more convenient options, and a shrinking population. Moving forward, more players could explore opportunities in offering non-standard vegetables to help lower costs and tackle food waste.
