In 2023, Italy led the European nations in the area of durum wheat fully converted and under conversion to organic farming, significantly outpacing Spain and France. Notable gains were observed in Germany, Croatia, and Austria, driven by increased organic mean cultivation. In contrast, Greece, Spain, and France saw reductions. Malta experienced a complete decline in organic wheat area, while several Eastern European countries like Romania and Bulgaria showed minor variations.
Looking forward, the European organic durum wheat market may witness growth, with potential increases from countries like Germany and Austria. However, ongoing climate conditions and policy changes will influence these trends.
