Undermined in recent years by Psa, it was down again due to major climate variations. The April frosts above all hit Italian production (390 000 t, i.e. - 22 % on the 3-year average), while French production was not really affected, although certain climate episodes slightly reduced the potential, which should be around average (58 000 t). Greece meanwhile should set a new record at 185 000 t (+ 16 %), due to expanding surface areas. This crop is seeing continuing expansion in Portugal, though production has been more severely stricken by Psa. However, the harvest should be bigger than the previous one (25 000 t, i.e. + 19 %), which in addition was handicapped by a lack of cold hours. Finally, we can report that Spain will again see a restrained rise (15 000 t, i.e. + 11 %).
