AMITOM crop update as of 22 October 2025
Egypt
Nothing changed from the last update
France
The campaign ended at the end of week 42 in the South-West with no losses.
This is not yet the case in the South-East for a handful of hectares that were not yet fully ripe. This could end at the end of week 43 or at the very beginning of week 44.
We have exceeded the volume contracted at the start of the season by nearly 10,000 tonnes and should therefore reach a total net volume of 185,000 tonnes with weighted penalties on volumes for each production run of 7.23% and a weighted brix of 5° for the factories that sent the information. The end of the season has been marked by difficulties in achieving ideal ripeness for harvesting the last plots, particularly in the south-east.
Over the last ten (even 13…) years, 2025 ranks among the best years, except that the other two, 2016 and 2017, with slightly more than 185,000 and 193,000 tonnes, included an additional factory that is no longer in production. We can therefore consider this to be the best season in the last ten years.
Greece
The final volume is 515,000 tonnes.
Hungary
The season ended with approximately 97,000 tonnes.
Iran
The 2025 Iranian tomato crop has been confirmed at 1.8 million tonnes, in line with earlier forecasts. Several factories are still in operation, and processing is expected to be completed by the end of October. Overall, the season is progressing as anticipated.
Italy
The particularly long and complex 2025 season has ended with a production of 5.8 million tonnes from 78,695 hectares.
In the North, the final processed volume was 3.12 million tonnes (+27.6% compared to last year) thanks to large volumes delivered in September after a difficult start of the season. Average yield on the 45,030 hectares planted (+ 8%) were at 69.3 tonnes per hectare significantly lower than the five-year historical average of 73.2 t/ha. The season was, however, characterized by excellent quality, with a good colour and an excellent Brix level of 5, which resulted in a positive payment index, higher than the maximum recorded in the previous five years.
In the Centre and South, a total of 2.71 million tonnes were processed (-5.3% compared to 2024), but the production of whole peeled tomatoes dropped by 20% due to low agricultural and processing yields, while production costs increased notably due to a significant increase in the price paid for tomatoes (up to 40% above the planned average price).
Portugal
The campaign is finished in Andalucía and Extremadura. There are still some factories working in the Ebro valley that should finish this week or in the first days of the next. We estimate final production is about 2,4 million tonnes.
Spain
The season is nearly over in Andalusia with only one factory still running.
In Extremadura factories have started to close and the season should end around 12 October. It rained last weekend, and operations stopped for a day.
In the North, the harvest is going well. Factories are still at full capacity and should operate until 20th October.
The overall forecast remains 2.4 million tonnes.
Tunisia
As of 19 October, only one unit is still operating and the total quantities processed amount to approximately 938,000 tonnes.
Turkey
The production estimate is confirmed at 2.2 million tonnes.
Ukraine
Processing is not finished yet and the total volume should be between 450,000 and 480,000 tonnes.
