The import of bran, sharps, and other residues of leguminous plants to Germany demonstrates a systematic upward trajectory from 2024 to 2028. With values consistently increasing over the period by approximately 2.5% per year, this trend reflects a stable demand for these residues. Compared to 2023, the import volume in 2024 marks a continuation of this demand-driven growth.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of changes in dietary preferences that might alter demand for plant-based products.
Any shifts in agricultural policy that could affect the supply chain for leguminous residues.
Technological advancements in processing that might reduce the need for imports by increasing local residue efficiency.
