What HS 0706.10 covers
This HS code covers fresh or chilled carrots and turnips, two staple root vegetables traded globally in immense volumes. Carrots are universally popular, consumed fresh, cooked, or processed into juices and purees, while turnips, though less common, are valued for their earthy flavor in stews and roasts. International trade is driven by year-round consumer demand, seasonal production cycles, and the needs of the food processing industry. Major agricultural nations with suitable climates and large-scale farming operations are key exporters, supplying markets worldwide. Importers include countries with high population densities, limited domestic production, or those seeking specific varieties for culinary or industrial use.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
