The European Union's banana production for 2025 is forecast to reach 566,592 tonnes, according to the latest figures published by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development. This represents a decrease from the confirmed total of 676,603 tonnes in 2024. The decline in production is reflected across several producing regions, including Spain, France, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Portugal, Cyprus, and Greece.
Spain remains the leading banana producer in the EU, with a projected total of 341,490 tonnes for 2025, down from 449,202 tonnes in 2024. The average price at the point of delivery is expected to rise to €1.25 per kg, compared to €0.89 per kg in the previous year. Other regions such as Guadeloupe and Martinique also show lower projected volumes for 2025, though prices for bananas in these areas remain comparatively lower, particularly in Guadeloupe, where the average delivery price is €0.72 per kg.
France, incorporating overseas territories, is forecast to produce 191,895 tonnes in 2025, down from 196,187 tonnes in 2024. Portugal's forecast indicates a modest increase in average prices at both the local market and delivery stages, with total production set at 29,675 tonnes. Similarly, Greece and Cyprus are expected to maintain relatively stable production levels, contributing smaller volumes to the overall EU total.
The data highlights a general trend of declining production volumes in EU banana-producing regions, alongside rising average prices. These projections are based on notifications submitted by member states as of 15 June 2025 and provide an updated snapshot of the sector's outlook for the year.
