Nicosia, Cyprus. Cyprus recorded a 3.5 per cent year-on-year increase in agricultural output prices in the second quarter of 2026, the third-highest rise in the European Union, according to Eurostat data published on Thursday. The increase came as average agricultural output prices across the EU fell by 5.8 per cent from the second quarter of 2025.

The decline marked the third consecutive quarter of falling agricultural output prices across the EU, Eurostat said.
Only Croatia and Malta recorded larger annual increases than Cyprus, with prices rising by 3.9 per cent in both countries. Cyprus was among seven EU countries where agricultural output prices increased during the quarter.
Declines in other member states
Agricultural output prices fell in 20 EU countries. Denmark recorded the steepest decrease, at 17.2 per cent, followed by Ireland, where prices fell by 16.2 per cent.
Latvia and Estonia each recorded declines of 14.5 per cent, while prices fell by 14.2 per cent in Luxembourg and Lithuania. The figures showed diverging agricultural price trends across the EU during the quarter.

Agricultural input prices rose in every EU country in the second quarter. Input prices cover goods and services used in agricultural production that are not related to investment, including energy, fertilisers and feedingstuffs.
