The demand for potatoes in France is expected to display modest growth from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 6.06 to 6.09 million metric tons. This represents a steady year-on-year increase of around 0.16% to 0.17%, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years being approximately 0.12%. In 2023, the demand stood slightly lower, demonstrating a stable upward trajectory in potato consumption.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of dietary shifts towards more plant-based foods, possibly increasing potato consumption as a staple food.
- Government and industry initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture, which may affect production and supply chain dynamics.
- Economic factors and consumer behavior changes post the COVID-19 pandemic, influencing demand and consumption patterns.
