Europe Biostimulants Market Trends
European Green Deal is majorly contributing for increasing organic cultivation, Italy majorly holding largest area under organic
- European countries are increasingly promoting organic farming, and the amount of land under organic farming has significantly increased over the last ten years. In March 2021, the European Commission launched an organic action plan to achieve the European Green Deal target of reaching 25% of agricultural land under organic farming by 2030. Austria, Italy, Spain, and Germany are among the leading countries in the European region. As of 2022, Italy has 15.0% of the agriculture area under organic farming, which is higher than the average of the European Union (7.5%).
- In 2021, there were 14.7 million ha of organic land in the European Union (EU). The agricultural production area is divided into three main types of use: arable land crops (mainly cereals, root crops, and fresh vegetables), permanent grassland, and permanent crops (fruit trees and berries, olive groves, and vineyards). The area of organic arable land was 6.5 million ha in 2021, 46% of the EU's total organic agricultural area.
- The organic areas of cereals, oilseeds, protein crops, and pulses in the EU increased by 32.6% between 2017 and 2021, amounting to more than 1.6 million ha. With 1.3 million ha in production, perennial crops accounted for 15% of the organic land in 2020. Olives, grapes, almonds, and citrus fruits are a few examples of crops in this group. As of 2022, Spain, Italy, and Greece are major growers of organic olive trees, with 197,000, 179,000, and 47,000 ha in production, respectively.
- Both olives and grapes are crucial for Europe's agricultural industry because they can be turned into specialty products that are in demand locally and internationally. The increasing trend in organic acreage in the region is expected to strengthen the organic sector in Europe further.
