Carrots are the orange taproot vegetable Daucus carota subsp. sativus, grown in temperate regions and sold fresh whole, in bags, baby-cut, and in bulk for processing into juice, cubes, puree, and frozen products. They are sold fresh through retail and foodservice and processed into juice, frozen and canned products, soups, baby food, and pet food, and used as a natural colorant. Because supply depends on one main harvest and storage, this market follows crop size and weather in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom, plus storage, energy, and labor costs. Crop size and weather, retail, foodservice, and processing demand, and storage, energy, and labor costs are what drive prices in this market.

Carrots Price Forecast for 2026

The outlook for Carrots through the end of 2026 is stable to slightly firm. Wholesale prices are near their multi-year average and holding up better than last year, a lower harvest is expected in parts of Europe, and storage costs will support prices later in the season. Buyers are expected to keep procurement plans flexible, tracking feedstock and freight conditions closely through the fourth quarter.

The main upside risk is a weather-reduced crop or higher storage costs. The main downside risk is a large crop and weaker retail and processing demand. Contract negotiations for the coming months are likely to hinge on how feedstock costs and demand evolve. Buyers are expected to keep procurement plans flexible, tracking feedstock and freight conditions closely through the fourth quarter.
