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 categorized as organic has significantly increased over the last 10 years. In March 2021, the European Commission launched an organic action plan to achieve the European Green Deal target of ensuring that 25% of agricultural land is under organic farming by 2030. Austria, Italy, Spain, and Germany are among the leading countries for organic cultivation in the European region. Italy has 15.0% of its agricultural area under organic farming, which is higher than the EU average of 7.5%.
  • In 2021, organic land in the European Union was recorded at 14.7 million hectares. 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 hectares in 2021, the equivalent of 46% of the European Union's total organic agricultural area.
  • The organic cultivation area of cereals, oilseeds, protein crops, and pulses in the European Union increased by 32.6% between 2017 and 2021, amounting to more than 1.6 million hectares. With 1.3 million hectares 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. Spain, Italy, and Greece are significant growers of organic olive trees, with production amounting to 197,000, 179,000, and 47,000 hectares, respectively, in recent years.
  • Both olives and grapes are crucial for the European agricultural industry because they can be turned into specialty products that are in demand locally and globally. The increasing organic acreage in the region is expected to strengthen the organic agricultural industry in Europe.

Growing demand for organic food, rising the per capita spending, Germany being the largest organic food market in the region

  • European consumers are increasingly purchasing goods made using natural materials and methods. Even though organic food still only makes up a fraction of the European Union's overall agricultural production, it is no longer a niche industry. The European Union represents the second-largest single market for organic goods internationally, with an average per capita spending of USD 74.8 annually. The per capita spending on organic food in Europe has doubled in the last decade. In 2020, Swiss and Danish consumers spent the most on organic food (USD 494.09 and USD 453.90 per capita, respectively).
  • Germany is the largest organic food market in Europe and the second largest market in the world after the United States, with a market size of USD 6.3 billion in 2021 and a per capita consumption of USD 75.6, as per Global Organic Trade data. The country accounted for 10.0% of the global organic food demand and is estimated to record a CAGR of 2.7% between 2021 and 2026.
  • The organic food market in France witnessed strong growth, with a 12.6% rise in retail sales in 2021. The country's per capita spending on organic food was recorded at USD 88.8 in 2021, as per Global Organic Trade data. In 2018, as recorded by the Agence BIO/Spirit Insight Barometer, 88% of French people declared having consumed organic products. The preservation of health, environment, and animal welfare are the primary justifications for consuming organic foods in France.
  • The organic market has begun to grow in several other nations, including Spain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, with the opening of organic stores. Organic food sales grew during and post the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers began paying more attention to health issues and learned the adverse effects of conventionally grown food.
