In 2023, the turnover per employee in the fruit and vegetable processing sector in the UK stood at 286.3 thousand euros. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase in turnover per employee, with annual growth rates averaging around 1.5% to 1.8% year-on-year. Over this five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be approximately 1.7%. This suggests a positive trend towards increasing efficiency or value generation per employee within the sector.
Future trends to watch include the impact of automation and technology adoption on productivity, changes in consumer preferences towards sustainably sourced products, and potential regulatory shifts post-Brexit that could influence cost structures and industry competitiveness.
