In 2023, France led European forage plant production at 6.41 billion euros, while Germany and Italy followed with 4.17 and 2.38 billion euros, respectively. Significant year-on-year growth was noted in Norway (18.88%), Estonia (13.65%), and Austria (9.42%). Conversely, Ireland and Sweden saw declines of 1.57% and 0.51%. The decline in Slovakia (-9.46%) indicates a potential area of concern.
Future trends to watch include:
- Continued growth in Northern European nations such as Norway and Estonia.
- Potential recovery efforts in countries with declining or stagnating production.
- The impact of climate change and sustainable agriculture practices on future production levels.
