Spain

Did you know…?

If you are thinking about switching to organic farming and livestock, Castilla y León and Spain offer a sector that is clearly expanding and consolidating. In Castilla y León, the organic area exceeded 136,000 hectares in 2024, with more than 2,200 operators in crop production, livestock, and organic industry. Since 2020, the area has grown by nearly 94% and the number of producers by 54%, showing sustained growth. Spain is a leader in the EU in organic farmland, with nearly 3 million hectares (12.3% of total agricultural land) and over 55,000 producers in 2022. Consumption of organic products is also increasing: in 2024, Spaniards spent around €3 billion on organic food, with fruits, vegetables, and meats leading the demand. Therefore, switching to organic farming and livestock is not only viable, but also a real opportunity in a growing sector, with an expanding market, institutional backing, and established sales channels.
