Agriculture in 2025: output value fell 2.9% in Greece and rose 4.8% in the EU
Eurostat’s European comparison complements ELSTAT’s Greek figures. Aggregate net entrepreneurial income in Greece’s agricultural industry fell 5.3%.
Update 12.11.2026 · 19:10, Athens time — What changed
The European figures published by Eurostat on 12 November add a contrasting direction for the same year: EU agricultural output value rose 4.8% to €558.7 billion, from €532.9 billion in 2024. Output value increased in 22 of the 27 member states, while Greece was among the five countries recording a decline. EU intermediate consumption rose 1.8% to €309.1 billion, and gross value added increased 8.8% to €249.5 billion. Output values are compared at basic prices: taxes on products are subtracted from producer prices and the corresponding product subsidies are added.
The comparison concerns output value at current basic prices, including price and subsidy effects, and differs from changes in volume. The Greek figures previously published by ELSTAT are unchanged. The addition provides European context for 2025 rather than a new revision to the Greek accounts.

Net entrepreneurial income in the agricultural sector amounted to €6.566 billion in 2025, down from €6.937 billion in 2024, a nominal decline of 5.3%. ELSTAT published the figures on November 12, 2026. This is a sector-wide aggregate covering crop and livestock farming at current prices, rather than average income or wages per farmer.
Gross output of the agricultural sector at basic prices fell 2.9% to €16.093 billion from €16.575 billion. Intermediate consumption — the goods and services used in production — stood at €8.144 billion, down from €8.152 billion, a decline of 0.1%. Gross value added fell 5.6% to €7.949 billion from €8.423 billion.
Agricultural factor income, a separate measure in the same account, stood at €8.250 billion, down 4.9% from €8.676 billion in 2024. Other subsidies on production rose 7.7% to €2.499 billion, while taxes on production increased 10.3% to €626 million, according to ELSTAT’s table.
These changes at current prices differ from volume changes. In its separate table at previous-year constant prices, ELSTAT reports a 0.4% decline in output and a 4.6% fall in gross value added for 2025. The accounts were compiled in September 2026 and include revised results for 2023 and 2024 using updated data sources.
