In 2023, Germany led in the fully converted and under conversion organic potato farming area in Europe, followed by France and Austria. Notable year-on-year growth was seen in countries like France (20.79%), Greece (15.69%), and Portugal (17.41%). On the other hand, a decline was observed in Slovakia (-5.63%) and Hungary (-6.17%). Sweden also showed a slight contraction. Significant growth in other countries such as Denmark, Netherlands, and Italy demonstrates a robust expansion trend in organic farming within the EU.
Future trends to watch:
- Continued growth in large agricultural nations like Germany and France could influence EU organic strategy.
- Emerging markets like Greece and Portugal may play pivotal roles due to their recent rapid growth.
- Monitoring declines in countries like Slovakia and Hungary could highlight challenges or market saturation in those regions.
