Organic lettuce's market share doubled to 7% in the past five years, and is expected to grow further due to increased emphasis on healthy eating. In 2020, the U.S. produced 3.6 million tonnes of lettuce and chicory, valued at $6 billion, with Mexico and Canada being the main suppliers of imported lettuce. The average price for organic lettuce is set to slightly increase by the end of 2021 due to high demand.

IndexBox has just published a new report: ‘U.S. – Lettuce And Chicory – Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights’. Here is a summary of the report’s key findings. During the pandemic, demand for lettuce in the HoReCa sector fell but was offset by growth in sales to the retail segment. The balance between supply and demand on the market was maintained due to a large lettuce harvest in 2020, an increase in imported supply, and a decline in exports. This enabled prices to remain stable. For the past five years, the share of organic lettuce on the market doubled, reaching 7% and will continue to grow. In the U.S., 2020 was the year of the harvest for leaf lettuce and Romaine lettuce. According to the USDA, production grew by 25% and 11% y-o-y, respectively, while iceberg lettuce production decreased by 8% due to hot weather conditions.
