Global Imports of Tomato Products, Updated January 17, 2023

18/01/2023 - François-Xavier Branthôme - Architecture of Trade
Monthly pace of tomato paste imports remains higher than those recorded before the Covid pandemic.
The total quantities of tomato paste imported by the Top20 importing countries (*) over the past twelve months (1.642 million mT, November 2021 – October 2022) were approximately 145,000 mT (9.7%) higher than in the previous corresponding period (1.496 million mT), and 260,000 mT (18%) higher than the average of the same periods of the three previous marketing years (1.382 million mT).
 
Comparison of monthly imports over past two years
Along with its monthly summaries of the prices for pastes and canned tomatoes and of the performances of the world’s main tomato paste exporting countries (see linked articles below), Tomato News is presenting updated figures of the supply volumes shipped each month by the main consumer markets for tomato products.
 
For tomato paste, alongside the combined figures for the Top20 importing countries, this article presents data for France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia and the United Kingdom; canned tomato imports for Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and the UK; and finally sauces & ketchup imports for Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. This provides a regular and representative overview of the situation and trends of global demand.

Russia is no longer presented, as is Costa Rica; results from Saudi Arabia and Cote d’Ivoire are now included. A new revision of the TOP20 list will be carried out as soon as necessary.
