Spain leads European fresh consumption purpose tomato production with 1.63 million metric tons, but experienced a decline of 4.74% in 2023. Italy, the second-largest producer, saw an increase of 11.2%. Poland and the Netherlands rank next but saw slight decreases of 0.73% and 5.61%, respectively. Other notable countries, like France and Romania, displayed marginal reductions, while Belgium and Portugal showed growth. Some countries like Malta ceased production. Growth varied with Croatia at 13.68%, Slovakia at 5.42%, and Lithuania at 9.41% over recent years.
Looking into the future, sustainability and automation in agriculture, alongside climate change impacts, will significantly influence production patterns. Italy’s increasing production may continue, while declining trends in traditionally dominant players like Spain could level off. Expansion in greenhouse technology might bolster growth in non-traditional regions.
