Peas, cultivated for centuries across various European nations, boast high nutritional value and protein content. Rich in amino acids, proteins, and sugars, peas find their largest producer in France. Leading the continent, France excels in cultivating both garden and dried peas. For instance, according to FAOSTAT, the developed area for dry peas in France was 133,490 hectares; for fresh peas, the cultivated area was 44,540 hectares in 2022. While Germany, Spain, and Ukraine also produce significant quantities, France's dominance in pea production is evident, bolstered by the country's favorable growth climate. Additionally, southern Russia, particularly the Caucasus and Volga regions, has a long-standing history of pea cultivation.
In Germany and other European nations, the consumption of peas has surged, driven by a rising demand for pea protein, a growing vegan and vegetarian population, and heightened health consciousness. Reports from the USDA's Foreign Agriculture Service in 2022 highlighted that Germany's vegan population surpassed 1.5 million, with over half the populace favoring plant-based over animal-based products. This trend underscores the untapped potential for vegan items like peas.
Moreover, the import of fresh peas in European countries has been observed to increase in recent years. According to the ITC trade Map, in the year 2022, the total import volume of fresh peas was observed at 430,634 metric tons, which increased to 431,103 metric tons in the year 2023. Demand for these imports is shaped by culinary trends, cultural preferences, and the rising popularity of plant-based proteins. Given the growing consumer interest in vegan diets, the demand for imported peas as a protein-rich alternative is poised to rise in the future.

Europe Pea Market Size Summary

The European pea market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the crop's nutritional benefits and its ability to enhance soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. Peas are a valuable source of protein, amino acids, and vitamins, making them a staple in both human and animal nutrition. The region's favorable climatic conditions and soil quality support the robust cultivation of various pea varieties, including dried yellow and green peas. This has led to increased demand for peas, both for domestic consumption and export. The crop's dual-purpose use, as forage and grain, particularly in countries like Bulgaria, further contributes to its market expansion. The rising livestock production in Southeast Europe also plays a crucial role in boosting the market, as peas provide an essential protein source that can reduce reliance on imported feed.

European countries such as the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Belgium are key exporters of peas, with significant export opportunities to countries like Turkey, India, and the United Arab Emirates. Efforts by governments to expand pea cultivation areas, such as the Netherlands' National Protein Strategy, are expected to enhance domestic production and export potential. Russia stands out as a dominant producer within Europe, benefiting from its favorable growing conditions and increasing global demand for meat substitutes. The absence of export taxes on peas has made them an attractive commodity for Russian exporters, further driving market growth. Recent investments in pea processing facilities and the introduction of new pea-based products by companies like Roquette and Lantm√§nnen highlight the industry's expansion and the growing interest in plant-based ingredients.
