As of 2023, the harvested area for broad and field beans in France was approximately 81.28 thousand hectares. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates marginal increases, reaching 81.39 thousand hectares by 2028. This equates to virtually negligible year-on-year growth rates, averaging a mere 0.03% annually over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in agricultural policy, changes in crop rotation practices, and the impact of climate change which could influence the suitability of land for bean cultivation. Additionally, market demand spikes due to dietary shifts towards plant-based proteins could alter the projected stability of this sector.
