The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled hams, shoulders, and cuts of pig meat to France from 2024 to 2028 shows a noticeable downward trend. In 2024, imports are estimated at 34.896 million kilograms, decreasing steadily to 26.881 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a consistent reduction in import volume year-over-year. In 2023, the volume stood higher, indicating a shift in import strategies or consumption patterns. Such consistent decline suggests a shift towards alternative meat sources, improved domestic production capacity, or changing consumer preferences.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of changes in trade policies, evolving dietary trends favoring plant-based or alternative proteins, and sustainability practices affecting import volumes. Monitoring these factors will provide a better understanding of the evolving market dynamics.
