Report highlights – December 2024

Agricultural productivity growth is challenged by climate change and its impacts on key natural resources. The EU improves self-sufficiency for main commodities and remains a net agri-food exporter, with a shift towards higher-value products. Consumer preferences are shifting towards proteins such as poultry and pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables, and reduced wine consumption. EU agriculture improves its environmental and climate performance, with reductions in greenhouse gases, ammonia emissions, and nitrogen surplus.   Please visit the Medium-term outlook webpage to download the report and data file.
