The European fibre crops area fully converted to organic farming highlights significant disparities among countries. In 2023, France led with 4.02 thousand hectares, followed by Greece at 2.89 thousand hectares, and Italy at 0.481 thousand hectares. Denmark and Poland also showed strong growth at 28.74% and 31.12% year-on-year, respectively. Notably, Bulgaria exhibited a remarkable year-on-year increase of 73.56%, albeit from a smaller base.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential expansion in countries with currently low organic fibre crop areas, such as Finland and Portugal, as sustainability efforts intensify.
- Monitoring the impact of policy changes and subsidies aimed at promoting organic farming across Europe.
- Technological advancements in organic farming methodologies that may drive further conversion and efficiency improvements.
