10-Jahres-Produktionstrajektorie: Aufsteiger & absteigende Produzenten
Across the EU-27, total broad and field beans production rose from 1,265.5 thousand tonnes in 2016 to 1,481.3 thousand tonnes in 2025 — a net gain of 215.8 thousand tonnes (+17.1%), equivalent to a 1.77% CAGR.
Germany ranked as the largest producer by total volume over the decade and showed a clear ascending trajectory (a 4.45% CAGR, +73.7 thousand tonnes), rising from 153.7 thousand tonnes in 2016 to 227.4 thousand tonnes in 2025. Lithuania and France completed the top three: Lithuania grew at a more moderate 2.25% CAGR (+46.3 thousand tonnes), while France posted a 4.06% CAGR (+85.3 thousand tonnes), though its 2020 value carries a break-in-series flag reflecting a methodological change.
The decade's rising stars were Denmark, Germany, and France. Denmark recorded the fastest relative growth (a 9.30% CAGR, +45.9 thousand tonnes, +122.6%), nearly doubling its output from 37.5 thousand tonnes to 83.4 thousand tonnes. Poland also moved decisively higher (a 2.40% CAGR, +20.7 thousand tonnes), with its 2025 value flagged as estimated. Latvia grew modestly (a 1.27% CAGR, +12.1 thousand tonnes). Italy was essentially flat (-0.14% CAGR, -1.5 thousand tonnes, classified as Stable). The only clear loser was Sweden (-6.53% CAGR, -46.8 thousand tonnes, -45.5%), which saw output fall from 102.7 thousand tonnes to just 55.9 thousand tonnes. EU-27 production was notably volatile — after a trough of 995.4 thousand tonnes in 2018, output recovered to 1,248.3 thousand tonnes in 2020 before oscillating between 1,121.8 and 1,481.3 thousand tonnes through 2025.

Lieferstabilitäts-Ranking: Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung
Volume leadership and supply reliability are rarely held by the same producer. Ranking the top eight broad and field beans producers by coefficient of variation (CV) — where a lower CV means steadier year-to-year output — reveals a clear hierarchy.
Italy is the most stable supplier by a wide margin (CV 10.04%, max drawdown -17.05%), placing it in the "very stable" threshold (CV < 10%). Poland ranks second (CV 16.2%, max drawdown -23.03%), and Germany third (CV 18.21%, max drawdown -29.74%) — both in the moderately stable range (CV 10–20%). France (CV 20.43%) sits just above the volatility threshold.
At the volatile end, Sweden (CV 35.83%, max drawdown -68.19%) is the least reliable — a buyer sourcing exclusively from Sweden would have endured supply swings from a 108.1 thousand tonne peak in 2017 to a 34.4 thousand tonne trough in 2018. Latvia (CV 23.48%, max drawdown -43.1%), Denmark (CV 21.89%, max drawdown -27.93%), and Lithuania (CV 21.31%, max drawdown -37.66%) also fall in the volatile zone. Among the top eight producers, only Italy achieved the "very stable" threshold, while three others — Poland, Germany, and France — stayed within the moderately stable range. The remaining four producers all exceeded 20% CV, underscoring the inherent variability in broad and field beans production across much of the EU.
CV < 10% = Very stable; CV 10–20% = Moderately stable; CV > 20% = Volatile.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | 114.4 | 10.04% | -17.05% | 6 | 1 |

Landnutzungsverschiebung: 10 Jahre Ackerlandtransformation
Broad and field beans acreage expanded across the EU-27 over the decade. Total harvested area rose from 477.9 thousand hectares in 2016 to 528.8 thousand hectares in 2025 — a net gain of 50.9 thousand hectares (+10.6%, a 1.13% annualized growth rate).
Six of the eight top producers expanded their area. Denmark posted the most dramatic increase (+72.8%, a 6.26% annualized rate), followed by Germany (+71.4%, +6.17%/yr), France (+44.3%, +4.16%/yr), Lithuania (+26.0%, +2.60%/yr), Poland (+21.8%, +2.21%/yr), and Latvia (+18.9%, +1.94%/yr). Italy (-7.3%, -0.84%/yr) and Sweden (-49.4%, -7.29%/yr) reduced their acreage.
Comparing production CAGR against area growth rates reveals distinct patterns. Denmark's production growth (9.30% CAGR) outpaced its area expansion (6.26%/yr), suggesting yield improvements on existing acreage. Germany's production growth (4.45%) was slightly below its area growth (6.17%), indicating some yield dilution. France's production (4.06%) roughly tracked its area growth (4.16%), implying stable per-hectare productivity. Lithuania and Poland also showed balanced dynamics, with their production growth rates (2.25% and 2.40%) aligning closely with their area expansion (2.60% and 2.21%), reinforcing that the overall output gains across the EU were driven primarily by land allocation rather than step-change yield improvements.
