In 2023, France led European sorghum production with 293.03 thousand metric tons, followed by Italy with 250.99 thousand metric tons, and Hungary with 160.09 thousand metric tons. Notable year-on-year variations include a significant 29.79% increase in Hungary, while Romania and Bulgaria saw substantial declines of 23.48% and 21.98%, respectively. Slovakia reported an impressive growth of 50.75%. Austria and Greece also experienced moderate growth of 6.44% and a slight decrease of 1.48% respectively. In contrast, France and Italy observed modest declines of 1.54% and 3.74% respectively. Spain and Slovenia saw reductions of 3.98% and 25.03% respectively, with Bosnia and Herzegovina experiencing a complete halt in production.
Future trends to watch include the potential for Hungary and Slovakia to continue their rapid growth due to favorable agricultural practices and investments. Conversely, France and Italy may need to address underlying issues causing their minor declines to maintain their leading positions. The sharp declines in Romania and Bulgaria indicate the need for strategic improvements to reverse their downturns. Technological advancements and changing climate conditions will also play a crucial role in shaping future sorghum production across Europe.
