In 2023, Germany's import of fresh or chilled cabbage lettuce stood at an actual volume of 57.8 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, a declining trend is forecasted with imports decreasing at an average annual rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.1%. Year-on-year variations indicate a steady decrease, with a notable 6.2% drop from 2024 to 2025, and continuing reductions in subsequent years. The projected volumes signify Germany's gradual shift away from reliance on imported cabbage lettuce during this period.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in dietary preferences, shifts in domestic agricultural policies promoting local produce, and environmental impacts influencing import decisions. These factors could further drive the demand trajectory and import dynamics in the coming years.
