Main EU Countries by Number of Organic Breeding Sows

In 2023, Germany led the EU with 19.25 thousand organic breeding sows, followed by Italy at 9.41 thousand, France at 9.09 thousand, Denmark at 8.18 thousand, and the Netherlands at 6.22 thousand. Over the last two years, trends indicate varied growth across these nations, with Germany showing strong expansion, while Italy and France experienced moderate increases. Denmark and the Netherlands have shown smaller, steady growth patterns. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past five years highlights Germany's leading position with consistent annual increases.

Looking ahead, future trends to watch include technological innovations in organic farming, potential shifts in EU agricultural policies impacting organic sector growth, and market demand fluctuations for organic products, all of which could influence the number of organic breeding sows in the main EU countries.
