In 2023, Italy led European usable soya production with 828,000 metric tons, followed by Romania and Croatia with 455,000 and 259,000 metric tons, respectively. Notable smaller producers included Slovenia and Lithuania, each with 5,000 metric tons. Production figures were stable year-over-year across all countries.
Looking forward, European soya production may see growth due to increased demand for plant-based products. Efforts toward crop diversification and sustainable agriculture in response to environmental concerns may also impact production. Countries with lower output could expand cultivation to meet rising demand and possibly improve their self-sufficiency in soya production.
