The organization describes these figures as "remarkable results due to their stability" and emphasizes that consumption trends are consolidating sobrasada as a benchmark product. Last year, the Balearic Islands accounted for 36.7% of the market, representing a 3% increase compared to 2024, thus confirming the product's recognition in its region of origin. The rest of Spain remains the main driver of sales, representing 59.3% of the total, despite a relative decrease of 2.7%, as production increased by 0.5%.</p>]]></description>

In fact, according to the Spanish Society of Organic Agriculture (SEAE), this market is the most important in the entire country in terms of the number of stalls and its frequency. The project, which began fifteen years ago and can be visited every Tuesday and Saturday in Plaça Patins in Palma, is experiencing a period of growth while maintaining its essence: a loyal clientele, exclusively local and organic producers and products, and a relationship between buyers and sellers more akin to that of friends or family than to that of business transactions. "It's an example of how a market can thrive in a city while also protecting local and organic products," remarked Marialaura Dolfi of Apaema.</p>]]></description>
