The data from 2023 reveals that Poland stands out as the leader in the area fully converted to organic plum farming, considerably ahead of other European countries. Other notable players, albeit far behind, include Romania, Bulgaria, and France. Most countries experienced modest to significant increases in their organic plum farming area, with Poland, Greece, and Hungary demonstrating remarkable year-on-year growth. However, the Netherlands and Cyprus saw slight declines during this period.
Future trends to monitor include the potential for further growth in organic plum farming across Eastern European countries, driven by consumer demand for organic products. Continued expansion might depend on policy incentives, investments in organic farming practices, and market access enhancements.
