EU Agricultural Outlook 2019-30
date: 29/01/2020
The European Union Agricultural Outlook for 2019-30 report was published on 10 December 2019 by the European Commission.
According to the report, global consumption of food per capita is increasing as well as self-sufficiency in certain parts of the world. This will have an impact on global trade and provide opportunities for some EU agri-food markets while creating a surge in competition for others.
Total agricultural land is expected to decline in the EU over the outlook period, to reach 174.4 million ha in 2030. By contrast, the land used for protein crops and fodder is expected to increase by respectively 46% and 2% compared to 2020.
