Market Demand — Mint
Global consumption & trade · FAO 2010–2023Is Mint viable in Spain?
Mint is well suited to Spain: growing-season temperatures (~22.9°C) and rainfall (~451 mm) fall within its 20–30°C range. Mint (Herbs & Spices, perennial) performs best around 20 - 30 °C with a seasonal water requirement of 500 mm / season. Run a coordinate-level audit for mapped field-level estimates and local risk context.
Growing Mint in Spain: what to expect
Rainfall in Spain (~451 mm/yr) roughly matches Mint's ~500 mm need, so a normal year needs little supplemental water. Plant Mint in early spring once the risk of hard frost has passed in Spain.
