Belgium ranks highest in European barley yield with 8.37 metric tons per hectare in 2023, followed by Germany and Switzerland. Notable year-on-year growth is observed in Norway, Sweden, and Poland. Conversely, Spain and Portugal exhibit significant declines. Over the past five years, the average growth has been buoyant in Eastern European countries like Slovakia, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic, contrasting with declines or stagnation in Southern and Northern Europe.
Future trends to watch include the impacts of climate change on Southern Europe’s barley yields, the continued improvement in Eastern European countries through technological advancements, and possible shifts due to policy changes in the EU agricultural sector.
