France
The campaign ended at the end of week 42 (w/s 13 October) 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 where the harvest 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.

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 (see ANICAV end of season press release attached).
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 tomato season closed with the last processing unit on the 18th of October with a final volume of 1.3 million tonnes. 15,000 hectares were planted for this crop.
The first weeks of October (weeks 40, 41 and 42) the weather was still very good with temperatures of 28-29ºC and during the night around 17-18ºC /20ºC.This means the crop was until the very last minute with a good temperature even if the time of sunlight was shorter. There were 2 days of rain and lower temperature which immediately rise again to the levels mentioned.
The last fields continued with good quality, very good colour and tomato were sound and ripe being harvested in the right moment. By the weeks 41-42 the quantity of tomato decreased as the usual process towards the end of the season.
Therefore, Portugal started with a forecast of 1.4 million tonnes, which was then revised for 1.35 million tonnes, and the last forecast was 1.3 million tonnes which was indeed the final number.
Spain
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.
Tunisia
As of 19 October, only one unit is still operating and the total quantities processed amount to approximately 938,000 tonnes.
Turkey
The processing season ended on 23 October in Konya. The total production 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.
Other WPTC countries in the Northern Hemisphere
California
The estimate is to process 49,222 short tons (44,653 metric tonnes) this week. At the end of this week (week ending 25 October) we could have processed 11,650,182 short tons (10,568,867 metric tonnes). Due to a few rain storms the last 10 days the remaining processors have decided to end production this week. The final estimate will be close to the 11,650,000 short tons (10,570,000 metric tonnes).
Canada
The harvest is now complete, having run later than normal, and preliminary numbers indicate that contracted tonnage was achieved. Despite some disease pressure, overall crop quality and yields were good.
China
No change from last report
Japan
Harvesting in Japan ended in the third week of October with a total volume processed of 22,000 tonnes, from 425 hectares planted. Growth was smooth nationwide until early June. However, high temperatures and drought from mid-June through August resulted in reduced plant vigour, poor fruit set, and smaller fruit, resulting in a significant decrease in production compared to the previous year.
