A recent study by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food of Spain reveals that the economic value of plant production in the country from 2020-2022 was €34.306 billion, with a significant majority of this value coming from the cultivation of vegetables (€10.93 billion) and fruits (€9.846 billion). These two categories contributed to 60% of Spain's total plant production value, highlighting their crucial role in the agricultural sector. The study also underscores the importance of irrigated agriculture, which accounts for 71% of the total production value, with vegetables and fruits being the most commonly irrigated crops. Dryland production, on the other hand, was mainly focused on cereals, fruit trees, and olive oil.
