Earlier Report Observations
The Spanish fig market volume expanded from 41 302 tonnes in 2018 to a peak of 54 399 tonnes in 2020. This growth was supported by optimistic market projections and rising global demand, with estimates pointing to annual growth of 5.3% during the period, reinforcing Spain's role as the European Union's leading fig producer.
After 2020, the market contracted, falling to 33 301 tonnes by 2023. Intense competition from Turkish figs in both domestic and European markets squeezed producer prices and contributed to the decline. Simultaneously, growing interest in fresh fig production stimulated new plantings, particularly in the Extremadura region, laying the groundwork for future supply.
The 2024 fig campaign started with a smaller harvest due to heat and drought reducing fruit size and quality. Despite this, the sector benefited from innovation projects and quality improvements, with Spain consolidating its position as a major exporter within the EU.
