Forecast: Tobacco Area Fully Converted and Under Conversion to Organic Farming in France

In France, the forecasted conversion of tobacco areas to organic farming shows a stable increase from 35 hectares in 2024 to 41 hectares by 2028. Compared to previous data up to 2023, where no organic conversion was reported, this indicates a considerable initiative towards organic conversion. Annual growth is 5.71% in 2025 and 2026, eventually settling to a slower 2.5% by 2028. The compounded annual growth rate is approximately 4.01%.

Future trends to watch in organic tobacco farming include:

• The impact of regulatory changes favoring organic farming practices.
• Consumer demand shifts towards sustainably sourced tobacco.
• Availability of conversion subsidies and financial support.
