The forecast for heifer slaughterings in France indicates a gradual decline from 586.71 thousand heads in 2024 to 582.82 thousand heads by 2028. This depicts a subtle downward trend with a year-on-year variation showing a decline of approximately 0.17% on average. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period projects a consistent average decrease. In 2023, before forecasted data began, the numbers stood slightly higher, reflecting a continued downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts on supply chains due to policy changes in agricultural sectors, shifts in consumer preferences toward plant-based diets, and environmental sustainability issues, which could further influence the decline in slaughterings.
