In 2023, Estonia led the organic farming transition in terms of berries with 0.25% of the total agricultural area, followed by Lithuania and Latvia. The year-on-year data highlights Latvia and Croatia's significant growth at over 11% and 12% respectively. However, Poland saw a slight decline, and several countries like Hungary and Germany showed no variation. Over the last five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) suggests continued growth in organic farming across these countries with regional variances influenced by factors such as policy support and market demand.
Future trends to watch in the European berries organic sector include further increases driven by consumer demand for sustainable products, potential impacts of EU regulatory changes encouraging organic practices, and innovations in organic farming techniques. Also, monitoring how climate change and technological advances in agriculture might shape this sector will be crucial.
