In 2023, France's imports of fodder crops and grazed biomass were slightly lower than forecasted for 2024, with these imports anticipated to reach 117.46 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady increase, culminating at 120.17 thousand metric tons in 2028. The expected year-on-year growth is consistent, reflecting a stable outlook for this sector. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projected over the five-year span suggests moderate expansion.
Future trends to monitor include potential impacts from climate change on agricultural productivity, shifts in domestic feed production, and evolving EU agricultural policy, all of which could significantly influence import needs and strategies.
