According to statistics from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, in 2012, the total area under organic cultivation in Spain reached 1.8 million hectares, an increase of 11.76%, with sales of organic agricultural products reaching 1 billion euros, most of which were destined for export. Currently, there are approximately 32,000 farmers and nearly 3,000 enterprises engaged in the cultivation and management of organic agriculture.
Spain began developing organic agriculture in 1974, but rapid development only started in 1996. Between 1996 and 2003, the area of organic farming in Spain doubled every year, and by 2008, it had become the country with the largest organic agricultural area in Europe.
In the Spanish organic agriculture sector, there are both independent small-scale producers and medium-to-large enterprises with annual sales exceeding tens of millions of euros. Regardless of the size of the enterprise, they are subject to strict supervision and certification, as any issues with their products could severely damage the image of organic agricultural products locally and throughout Spain.
