Tridge summary

In 2020, global tomato production reached 186.821 million metric tonnes on 5,051,983 hectares, with an average yield of 37.1 metric tonnes/hectare. China was the world's leading producer, followed by India, Turkey, and the United States. However, Spanish production saw a decrease, and it is predicted that fresh tomato production in the EU will decline by 0.4% per year until 2031 due to a decrease in winter production in Spain and a shift to small-sized tomatoes. Despite this, the EU's consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables is expected to rise due to a more health-conscious diet. EU fresh tomato exports could plateau, while imports could increase, primarily from Morocco, Turkey, and Tunisia.
