The article discusses the pricing and sales trends of cabbage in Germany, highlighting a shift in marketing strategies. It notes that cabbage has been available in discount stores and department stores since September, with a peak in sales in the first half of the month. The traditional 10-kilogram Raschel bags for home storage have disappeared due to high costs, which this year have risen to 0.85 euros per kilogram from a stable 0.53 euros in the past four years.

Organic cabbages and specific variety names are less common in marketing promotions, and there has been a growing trend to highlight regional production in cabbage promotions.
