Seven Member States represent around three-quarters of total EU agricultural output. Spain is  one of the largest agricultural producers in the European Union.

In the European Union (EU), the Member State contributing the most to the value of agricultural production was France (accounting for 18% of the EU total), followed at a distance by Germany (14%), Italy (13%), Spain (10%), the United Kingdom (8%), the Netherlands (7%) and Poland (5%).

Together, these seven Member States represent around three-quarters of total EU agricultural output.

This information is issued by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, on the occasion of the publication of its statistical book on agriculture, forestry and fishery.

This publication is divided into seven chapters,providing facts and figures about farm structure, agricultural accounts and prices, agricultural products, agriculture and environment, forestry and fishery production. As 2015 marked the abolition of dairy quotas, this year a whole chapter is also dedicated to 30 years of quotas in the milk sector in the EU.
