According to the INE's "Agricultural Statistics 2024," autumn/winter cereal crops saw productivity increases "thanks to soil moisture and regular vegetative development, although low prices and high costs reduced producers' net margins."

For spring/summer cereals, particularly grain corn, the outlook was more negative: yield declines, a reduction in area (-13.6%), and the lowest production in the last decade.

Vegetable and potato production saw increases of 3.1% and 10%, respectively, "despite challenges such as planting delays," while industrial tomato production saw an increase in area but a decline in productivity. In fruit production, the INE points to "mixed results": apples (+7.2%) and oranges (+26.9%) recovered from poor harvests, while pears and kiwis were penalized by disease, low fruit set, and climate change, and cherries suffered a "new sharp decline" (-35.5%).

Among permanent crops, olive oil stood out with its second-highest production ever, and almonds reached a record high, solidifying Portugal as the second-largest producer in the European Union (EU).

Conversely, chestnuts "remained below potential, despite their high quality," and the harvest was hampered by "strong disease pressure and adverse weather conditions," resulting in an 8.1% drop in production.
