Almería agricultural sector production and export trends
Overview
The agricultural sector in Almería is navigating a period of significant economic growth alongside various operational challenges. Early in the season, high temperatures caused delays in certain plantings, such as tomatoes in Níjar, to mitigate plant stress and the impact of the rugose virus. During this time, producers also began focusing on international expansion through initiatives like the Export Asia forum to diversify beyond European markets.
By later in the period, Almería emerged as a primary economic driver for Andalusia, exporting over 1.7 million tons of agro-food products and generating nearly 3.059 billion euros in revenue. While cucumber sales increased by over 20%, the sector faced intensifying threats from the Thrips parvispinus pest. In response to the pest and rising reports of theft and robbery on agricultural holdings, local authorities and organizations like ASAJA Almería have called for coordinated prevention protocols and increased police surveillance in rural areas.
