Raw or cooked, vegetables, on the other hand, are typically more savory. They can be root vegetables like potatoes and carrots, cruciferous veggies like broccoli, or leafy greens like spinach.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: The increasing use of online grocery shopping and delivery services is driving up sales of products. Aside from grocery delivery, meal kit delivery is becoming more and more popular with health-conscious customers because it offers a variety of fruit and vegetable combinations depending on the needs of the customer. The primary consumers of these meal kits are single persons in Generation X and Millennials. Furthermore, In Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, the growing populations have led to a greater need on imported staple foods. This dependence has been caused by a number of factors, including soil salinity, arid climates, and diminishing groundwater levels. As a result, many nations are adopting measures to lessen their need on imports, which has led to a notable expansion of their local farming and agricultural industries.
Challenges: The fruits and vegetables market in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is confronted with a number of issues that affect supply and production. One of the main problems is the region's severe climate, which makes it hard to cultivate a large range of fresh produce locally due to its intense heat and scarcity of fertile land. This dependence on imports to satisfy demand makes a country more susceptible to interruptions in the global supply chain, price swings, and trade restrictions. Local production capacity is further constrained by the region's agricultural sector's heavy reliance on water, a limited resource. Modern farming technology and the high cost of labor provide another difficulty, making locally farmed produce more costly than imported alternatives.
