In 2023, Italy was the dominant producer of husked (brown) rice in Europe, accounting for a remarkable 85.41% of production. Spain, France, and Bulgaria followed, albeit with significantly smaller shares of 7%, 4.06%, and 3.27% respectively. Notably, France experienced an 8.38% increase, while Bulgaria surged by 12.5%. Greece and Denmark, however, saw declines of 14.43% and 8.88%, respectively. Over the past five years, notable trends include Bulgaria's increase while Italy's share slightly contracted.
Future trends to watch include the potential rise in production in France and Bulgaria, driven by local investments in rice agriculture. Meanwhile, Italy may experience further declines unless strategic measures are implemented to stabilize its production levels.
