In 2023, Italy accounted for the largest share of European dessert pears production, contributing 32.07 thousand metric tons. The Netherlands followed with 27.04 thousand metric tons, showing a positive year-on-year increase of 2.15%. Spain and France experienced notable declines, with Spain declining by 4.12% and France by 3.18%. Portugal and Sweden recorded positive growth, with the latter increasing by 1.92%. Poland and Romania also saw declines, while Luxembourg's production ceased entirely. The five-year CAGR highlights a steady reduction in production across most countries, indicating a shift or stabilization in production levels.
Looking ahead, trends suggest a continued dominance by Italy and the Netherlands in production share, although factors such as climate change, trade policies, and consumer preferences could influence these dynamics. Innovations in agricultural techniques and sustainability practices might catalyze shifts in production efficiency across various countries, potentially reshaping the landscape of dessert pear production in Europe.
