Based on the forecast data from 2024 to 2028, the demand for barley in France is projected to remain relatively stable, with volumes slightly increasing from 4.33 to 4.34 million metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the demand was also approximately 4.33 million metric tons, indicating minimal year-on-year growth. Over this five-year period, the annualized change remains negligible, with a CAGR close to zero.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of climate change on barley yields, which could affect supply.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative grains or plant-based diets.
- Policy changes within the European Union impacting agricultural subsidies or regulations.
