The European organic olive production in 2023 highlighted Spain as the dominant producer with 352.84 thousand metric tons, followed by Greece with 207.5 thousand metric tons. The remaining countries like Cyprus, Croatia, Slovenia, and Malta produced significantly less, totaling less than 10 thousand metric tons combined. In the year 2023, Spain's production rose by 3.84%, while Greece experienced an 11.84% increase. Smaller producers like Malta saw the highest year-on-year surge at 18.47%. Over the past five years, Spain and Greece have demonstrated a steady growth rate, but Malta, with a small baseline, shows remarkable CAGR.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts toward increased organic production due to rising consumer demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products. This trend may encourage countries with smaller current outputs, like Cyprus and Malta, to significantly expand their production capabilities. Monitoring potential climate change impacts and regulatory shifts in organic certification will be essential for producers across Europe.
