As of 2023, the pulses import volume in France was recorded at 82.0 Thousand Metric Tons. Forecasts indicate a steady rise in import volumes from 2024 through 2028, starting at 84.0 Thousand Metric Tons in 2024 projected to reach 90.0 Thousand Metric Tons by 2028. The year-on-year increase reflects a gradual upward trend, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period of approximately 1.9%. This suggests a consistent demand increase for imported pulses in France.
Future trends to watch for in the French market include:
- Potential shifts in dietary preferences towards plant-based proteins, potentially driving further demand.
- Trade policy changes in the European Union that could impact import volumes or pricing.
- Impact of domestic agricultural policy on pulse production and import needs.
