Production is set to edge lower, as cutbacks in key origins are partially offset by gains in smaller areas.
EU field pea production is projected at 2.27 MMT for 2026/27, down 6.5% year-on-year, as declines in key producers like France and Germany outweigh gains in emerging origins.
On March 26, 2026, the European Commission released its preliminary outlook for agricultural production across the EU-27, offering an early assessment of field pea output for the 2026/27 marketing year. The Commission projects total field pea production at approximately 2.27 million metric tonnes, marking a decline of around 6.5% compared to the 2025/26 season. Despite this reduction, the forecast still places the upcoming crop as the second-largest field pea harvest recorded in the bloc over the past nine years, underscoring the crop’s continued importance within the EU’s agricultural landscape.
