In 2024, Spain leads with 956.74 thousand metric tons in the production of subtropical and tropical fruits in Europe, despite a 4.8% YoY decline. Italy follows at 761.53 thousand metric tons, benefiting from a 5.86% increase. Greece (427.21 thousand metric tons) and France (330.24 thousand metric tons) also experienced positive growth of 7.89% and 3.08% respectively. Portugal's production rose significantly by 15.31%, now standing at 123.23 thousand metric tons. Smaller producers like Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Switzerland saw varying increases, while Slovenia and Croatia experienced declines. Malta's production ceased entirely, dropping by 100% from the previous year.
Future trends to watch include the impact of climate change, which could either expand these regions' ability to grow more tropical fruits or create challenges due to extreme weather conditions. Technological advancements in agriculture and shifts in consumer preferences towards exotic and healthy fruits will also likely drive future production trends across European countries.
