Global Consumption of Asparagus Poised to Reach 10 Million MT by 2027-End

Asparagus is preferred as an ingredient in soups and fresh food products

Asparagus is actively sought by major companies as a key ingredient in soups on account of its nutritive properties and palatable taste. Asparagus is widely predicted to become the primary choice in the soup manufacturing industry as many companies already make soup with asparagus and this is only expected to grow in the future. As a vegetable, asparagus is quite popular to prepare ready-to-eat foods, and asparagus is grated and mixed with other food products such as mixed vegetables and chicken to concoct truly delicious preparations. An increasing demand for asparagus in fresh food products such as brine and pickled asparagus, soups and sauces is likely to give a good boost to the revenue growth of the fresh segment by type in the global asparagus market.

Rising demand for organic asparagus in the global asparagus market

The number of organic growers of asparagus in the global asparagus market is rising every year because of the high demand for organic asparagus. Asparagus growers are striving to increase the yield they can obtain and this can largely be attributed to the thriving global asparagus export market. Consumers have become extremely health-conscious worldwide and this has spurred demand for both the production and consumption of organic asparagus. Organic asparagus is particularly consumed in North America and Europe, and import there has grown by leaps and bounds. In the U.S state of Kentucky for example, growing organic asparagus has become something of a recent trend. The produce is exported to those countries where demand is high and Kentucky has the maximum asparagus produced organically when compared to any other region in the world.
