In 2023, France's sesame seed import volume stood at approximately 13.0 thousand metric tons. The forecasted data suggests a gradual increase in import volumes, reaching 15.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth between 2023 and 2024 is stable, but a notable increase is expected in 2026 with a consistent plateau through 2028. Over the five-year period from 2023 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a modest upward trend in the import of sesame seeds in France.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential shifts in agricultural trade policies affecting sesame seed imports.
- Changes in domestic demand driven by evolving consumer preferences towards sesame-based products.
- Environmental factors influencing global sesame seed production and hence availability for import.
