In 2023, France maintained the largest share of European field pea production at 22.25 thousand metric tons, despite a 3.74% year-on-year decline. Germany (12.03) and Romania (8.07) followed, with Germany seeing a 5.99% increase and Romania a slight 0.72% rise. Noteworthy growth was observed in Finland (40.06%), Denmark (31.23%), and Latvia (25.48%), indicating emerging leaders in the market. Conversely, Spain experienced a significant 10.65% drop and Bulgaria an 18.64% decrease, highlighting volatility in these regions. Overall, the sector exhibited mixed trends, heavily influenced by both favorable and adverse agricultural conditions.
Future trends to watch include the growing production capacities in Northern and Eastern European countries, which are investing in more resilient agricultural technologies. Monitoring the impact of climate change on traditional leaders like France and Spain will be crucial, as more consistent climatic conditions shift production dynamics.
