In 2023, the Netherlands dominated the European road freight transport of agriculture, hunting, forestry, fish, and fishing products loaded in predominantly urban regions, with a leading load of 32.11 million metric tons. Slovakia and Estonia experienced notable year-on-year growth in 2023, seeing increases of 12.4% and 10.3% respectively. In contrast, countries like Bulgaria and Hungary saw significant declines of -15.88% and -11.76%. Over the last five years, growth patterns have been uneven, with most northern European countries experiencing a contraction, while pockets of growth have appeared in Eastern Europe.
Future trends to watch include potential increases in Eastern Europe as regional infrastructure improves and demand for diversified agricultural products grows. Environmental regulations and sustainability efforts may also lead to shifts in transport modes and efficiency strategies across Europe.
