Total imports of organic agri-food products in the EU increased from 2.48 million t in 2023 to 2.64 million t in 2024 (+6.4%). The increase reflected a rebound in demand after two years of decline caused by sharp increases in food prices.
Most of this increase could be attributed to increased imports of organic fruit and vegetables (bananas, tomato preparations, juices), nuts, rice, oilseeds and cakes. On the other hand, a decrease was recorded in imports of organic olive oil, coffee, cocoa beans, maize and soya beans.
