The European nuts area under conversion to organic farming is largely dominated by Spain, holding a substantial share of 62.92 hectares in 2024. Italy and France follow at 9.74 and 8.19 hectares respectively. Notable annual growth was observed in Portugal with a 22.43% increase and Greece with 33.49%. However, some countries like Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Montenegro experienced notable declines in conversion areas. Over the past five years, there's been a mixed progression, with certain regions actively advancing their organic farming conversions, while others have contracted.
Future trends to watch include:
- Continued expansion in Spain as the dominant player in the organic nuts sector.
- Potential rebound opportunities in countries with recent declines like Bulgaria and Cyprus.
- Emerging interest in organic farming in underrepresented countries may gradually reshape the continental share.
- The influence of EU agricultural policies and consumer demand trends further driving organic transitions.
