In 2023, Greece led Europe with the highest share of fibre crops area under conversion to organic farming, followed by France and Bulgaria. Notably, Poland, Belgium, and Spain demonstrated significant year-on-year growth with increases of over 25%. Meanwhile, negative trends were observed in countries like Greece, Italy, Romania, and the Netherlands.
Future trends indicate potential growth in organic conversion areas, driven by increasing sustainability efforts and demand for organic products. France and Bulgaria are expected to continue their upward trajectory, while countries with declining shares might re-strategize to capitalize on the organic movement. Monitoring EU policy changes and market demand will be crucial for forecasting future developments.
