The import of maize, excluding seed corn, to the UK is forecasted to rise from 3.0268 billion kilograms in 2024 to 3.3546 billion kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the actual import volume was slightly lower than the forecast for 2024. Each year from 2024 to 2028, there is an expected year-on-year increase in import volumes, reflecting moderate and steady growth with an approximate annual increase of around 3%.
Given the consistent rise, attention should be paid to factors influencing these imports, such as changes in domestic agricultural policies, global maize supply disruptions, and shifts in consumer demand. Observing these trends will be crucial for stakeholders in agricultural trade and policy planning.
