Tridge summary

The area under woody crops in France has seen a 9% increase over the past decade, reaching 5.31 million hectares by 2022. This expansion is primarily due to significant increases in the cultivation of pistachios, almonds, and olive trees. However, there has also been a rise in the cultivation area of lemon, chestnut, avocado, and persimmon. In contrast, the cultivation of peach, apple, pear, hazelnut, and plum trees has seen a decline. This analysis is based on georeferenced data from the Survey on Crop Areas and Yields in Spain, which monitors changes in crop areas through annual field visits. It reveals that 11% of the current woody crop area was previously occupied by herbaceous crops and fallow land in 2012.
