France is experiencing a decrease in its leek production area, with a 1% reduction from the previous year and a 5% drop compared to the average of the last five years, totaling 5,253 hectares. This decline is expected to result in a 7% decrease in harvest volume from the previous year, from 175.5 thousand tons to 163.6 thousand tons. Consequently, prices are set to increase significantly, with a 24% rise expected compared to the previous season and a 14% increase compared to the five-year average for September, according to FruitVeB and data from Agreste.
