The forecast data for France's import of residues from starch manufacture shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 70.362 million kilograms in 2024, it is projected to decline steadily to 52.596 million kilograms by 2028. This represents an average annual decrease of approximately 7.0%. In 2023, imports stood slightly above the forecasted figures for 2024, indicating a shrinking demand or increased domestic production efficiencies.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts in the European Union’s agricultural policies affecting starch by-products' availability.
Developments in alternative uses or demand for these residues that could influence import needs.
Economic factors in France that might impact import volumes, such as changes in related industries or consumer demand patterns.
