• There are three major types of cabbage, Brassica oleracea, green, red, and savoy. It belongs to the same plant family as many other vegetables, including Chinese cabbage and broccoli. The annual per capita consumption of fresh cabbage in 2021 averaged 5.9 pounds per person in the United States. Cole crops, such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower, are extensively grown in South Carolina because weather conditions suit their growth.
• Currently, cabbage has a relevant position in the culture of many countries mainly due to its fiber content, minerals (Ca, P, and K), and vitamins (C, K, A, and folate). It is usually consumed fresh in salads, boiled, stir-fried, or fermented. It forms an essential part of the human diet because of its affordability and availability in local markets. Cabbage and other brassicas have the functional potential to regulate glucose levels and improve health in people.
• The market is expected to increase during the forecast period as the demand for cabbage and other brassica is increasing in the processing industry (Napa cabbage is much stringier than regular green cabbage and therefore is more suited to the lactic acid fermentation process in making kimchi and in the processing industries cabbages are used for making pickles) thereby increasing the cultivation area across the world. For instance, the area under brassicas increased from 3.7 million hectares in 2018 to 3.8 million hectares in 2021.
