In 2023, Germany leads with the largest domestic material consumption share in European fodder crops and grazed biomass at 16.79 thousand metric tons, followed by France and the United Kingdom. Notably, Germany saw a significant year-on-year growth of 6.81%, while Norway experienced the most substantial percentage increase at 11.06%. Conversely, several countries faced declines, with Macedonia registering the steepest drop at -8.98%. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights consistently strong performers such as Germany and emerging countries like Norway.
Future trends to watch include the impact of climate change on crop yield variability and the potential shift toward sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices across Europe. Countries with higher growth rates might explore advanced agronomic techniques to boost productivity and meet the increasing demand for sustainable biomass production.
