The import of dried vegetables to the UK is forecasted to decrease from 24.076 million kilograms in 2024 to 23.353 million kilograms by 2028. For context, the import volume stood at 24.2 million kilograms in 2023. The year-on-year decline suggests a gradual decrease in import volumes over the period, with each subsequent year reflecting a slight reduction. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates a consistent downward trend in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic agricultural policies impacting import reliance.
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards fresh or locally-produced vegetables.
- International trade agreements that might affect import tariffs or quotas.
