Forecast: Peaches Area Fully Converted and Under Conversion to Organic Farming in Italy

In 2023, the area of peaches fully converted and under conversion to organic farming in Italy stood just above 2.31 thousand hectares. From the forecasted data for 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent decline, with an average annual change of around -1.13%. Year-on-year, the area is expected to reduce by approximately 1.73% from 2024 to 2025 and by 1.32% from 2025 to 2026, demonstrating a modest yet continuous contraction trend.

Future trends to watch for:

• Adoption of new organic farming techniques that may counter system inefficiencies.
• Potential policy changes or subsidies to promote organic agriculture expansion.
• Shifts in consumer preferences towards organic produce, possibly reversing the decline.
• Technological innovations aimed at perhaps reducing the conversion costs to organic farming.
