In 2023, Belgium leads in Gross Value Added (GVA) per employee in the European cereal sector with 82.2 thousand euros, followed by the Netherlands and Italy. Much lower, Greece trails with a GVA of 1.5 thousand euros. The trend from 2019 to 2023 shows disparities among countries, with Belgium consistently outperforming the European average, while Eastern European countries like Macedonia and Romania contribute the least. The lack of consistent growth across the board indicates varied industry efficiencies and economic environments.
Future trends in the European cereal products sector include potential consolidation and efficiency improvements in lower-performing countries. As these sectors modernize, a catch-up effect enabling higher GVA per employee may emerge, particularly in Eastern Europe. Sustainability practices and technological advancements will likely influence efficiencies and value generation across the continent.
