The forecast indicates a consistent increase in the area of apricots fully converted to organic farming in France, starting from 941 hectares in 2024 and reaching 972 hectares by 2028. This represents a steady annual growth rate with a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.81% over these five years.
In 2023, the area dedicated to organic apricot farming was not provided, but assuming slow growth, the figures suggest a gradual progression toward organic conversion. The year-on-year percentage variations for this period reflect a consistent upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential accelerations in organic farming conversions driven by policy changes supporting organic agriculture in the EU, consumer demand for organic produce, and potential impacts of climate change on conventional farming practices.
