Following our harvest in 2023, we conducted a landmark, large scale research campaign across several European markets. The purpose was to understand shoppers’ behaviours and the size of the sweetpotato market in each country.

We are working closely with our farmers and producers to deliver the highest quality sweetpotatoes across the market, and also with buyers to establish promotional programmes in order to support strong sales that balance customer value and profitability for our members.

Sweetpotato sales in the UK are worth £71m and growing at 8.6%,[1] €79m in France growing at 17%,[2] and €63m in Germany.[3]
55% of sweetpotato shoppers in the UK chose the vegetable as a healthier alternative to white potatoes.[4]
Despite effects from the cost-of-living crisis, 24% of consumers across the UK are buying more sweetpotatoes compared to previous years.[5]
The percentage of households buying sweetpotatoes also varies from 42% in the UK[6] to 34% in France[7] and 22% in Germany[8].
