The first estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development of the Andalusian Government (Spain) indicate a very slight fall in vegetable surface areas in the Almeria zone, apparent for most crops except the pepper. The reported fall amounts to a total of 127 ha (- 0.3 % on 2015) out of the zone’s 36 600 ha. It should be more marked for the aubergine (2 200 ha, i.e. - 4.3 % on 2015) and the cucumber (4 800 ha, i.e. - 4.4 %). The reduction in surface areas should not exceed 2.1 % for the tomato (10 700 ha) and 1.7 % for the courgette (7 500 ha). Conversely, another increase in pepper surface areas is expected (10 100 ha, i.e. + 6.4 %).
