Brussels Sprouts Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Market Overview

The US paid the most for Brussels sprouts in Q2 2026: USD 2,231/MT, up 2.0% from USD 2,187 in Q1. The steady fresh and frozen-food demand kept things firm there. Worldwide, the average moved up 2.0%, to USD 1,935/MT from USD 1,897, largely because the growing-season weather across the major producing regions ran a bit tighter than usual this year. What about H2 2026? We'd expect a global average somewhere in the USD 1,910-2,070/MT range, with the steady fresh-market demand doing most of the work.

Brussels sprouts trace their name to the Netherlands and Belgium, where the crop was first cultivated at scale, and the Netherlands remains a major growing region alongside the US, UK, and, more recently, Mexico as a winter-supply source. The crop is a cool-season vegetable, harvested by hand or mechanically stripping the small heads from a tall central stalk, and it feeds fresh retail, frozen food-manufacturing, and a smaller foodservice supply chain. Three things move the price more than anything else: the growing-season weather across the major producing regions, the fresh and frozen-food demand in developed retail markets, and how much acreage growers commit relative to other cool-season vegetables each season.

The crop's cultural association with holiday and winter dining deserves a mention, since it genuinely shapes the demand pattern in ways that differ from most other vegetables. Brussels sprouts see a pronounced seasonal demand spike in North America and Europe around the Northern Hemisphere winter holidays, a pattern tied closely to traditional holiday meal menus, which means the fourth-quarter demand picture for this crop tends to look noticeably different from the steadier, less seasonal demand most other vegetables experience.

Mexico's emergence as a winter supplier deserves attention too, since it's a relatively recent addition to this market's supply base. As demand for fresh Brussels sprouts has grown beyond the traditional holiday season into a more year-round product, particularly as a trendy restaurant and home-cooking ingredient, Mexican growers have stepped in to fill the gap domestic Northern Hemisphere production can't cover during the colder months.

Brussels Sprouts Price Forecast for 2026

Supply and demand should stay moderately tight through H2 2026, with the growing-season weather running a bit tighter than usual across several producing regions. The Netherlands and UK both kept the fresh-market demand steady through H1, and that's likely to continue. Mexico's winter-supply role kept building as well, while the US saw the steepest premium of the four on strong fresh and frozen-food demand.

Buyers should keep the seasonal demand pattern in mind when planning purchases, since Brussels sprouts pricing tends to firm noticeably heading into the fourth quarter as holiday-driven demand builds across North America and Europe.

The growing year-round demand trend, driven partly by the crop's popularity in restaurant menus outside the traditional holiday season, is worth watching too, since it could gradually smooth out some of the sharp seasonal demand spike this market has traditionally shown.

What could push prices higher? A weaker-than-expected harvest in any of the major producing regions, or stronger-than-usual holiday-season demand. What could pull them lower? A stronger harvest than currently expected, or a softer holiday demand season than usual.
