EU agri-food trade eased in November 2025
The latest agri-food trade report published by the European Commission shows that the EU's agri-food trade eased in November 2025, after peaking in October. It retained a solid footing against challenging market conditions caused by high import prices.
Between January and November 2025, the cumulative EU agri-food surplus reached €46.1 billion. This is below the same period in 2024, largely due to high import prices. After a very strong performance in October, EU agri-food exports returned to more typical levels in November, while imports remained high. The monthly surplus in November 2025 reached €4.1 billion.
In November 2025, EU agri-food exports were worth a total of €19.7 billion, down 2% compared to November 2024. Despite this, cumulative exports reached €219.2 billion by November, an increase of €2.8 billion (+1%) on the same period in 2024. The EU remains a major exporter of agri-food products.
Imports to the EU remained high. EU agri-food imports reached €15.6 billion in November 2025, up 1% both month-on-month and year-on-year. From January to November, cumulative imports amounted to €173.1 billion, an increase of €15.9 billion (+10%) compared with the same period in 2024, due to higher prices of imported commodities.
More insights as well as detailed tables are available in the latest edition of the monthly EU agri-food trade report.
