In Belgium, the forecasted vegetable production for 2024 stands at 1.94 million metric tons, which is the same level observed in 2023. Subsequent years show a slight downward trend: production is expected to decrease to 1.92 million metric tons in 2025, 1.89 in 2026, 1.87 in 2027, and 1.85 in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 1% from 2024 to 2025, and similar small declines in the following years.
Future trends to watch for:
- The potential impact of climate change on growing conditions.
- Advancements in agricultural technology and practices that could affect production efficiency.
- Market demand dynamics both locally and internationally.
- Policy changes related to agriculture and trade.
