Comparison of monthly exports of tomato paste (HS code 200290) over past two years, comparison with the previous three marketing years (November- October periods)

The latest available data on global exports over the full marketing year (November 2024 – October 2025) show that the pace of trade is still slowing down and is under (-2%) that of the previous period. This rhythm maintains the total global exports recorded over a 12-month period just under 3.85 million metric tonnes (t) (see complementary information).

With a total quantity of just above 3.53 million tonnes of tomato paste exported over the period November 2024 – October 2025, TOP10 annual exports of tomato paste were lower (-2.1%, around 77,239 t) than in the previous twelve months (November 2023 – October 2024).

The ten countries presented accounted for 92% of the sector’s total exports on average over the last five years, with the remaining 8% distributed over approximately 80 countries.

For each of the ten countries (China, Italy, Spain, USA, Portugal, Chile, Turkey, Greece, Iran and Austria) that play a significant role in international trade, Tomato News presents a comparison of the monthly performances for exports of tomato paste over past two years. For greater clarity, the histograms present (blue dotted lines) the curve of the average activity of the same months of the three previous marketing years.

This situation makes it possible to follow the evolution of national export dynamics and to compare recent performances with those of equivalent periods of the previous year. These elements of international trade also give a better understanding of the quantities on which the average values presented in our articles on tomato paste prices were constructed.
