The forecast for France's soybeans import volume from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease. In 2023, the import volume stood slightly higher than the forecasted figures, marking a decline in subsequent years. There is an average annual decrease of approximately 0.5% over this five-year period. With the import volume predicted to drop from 693.0 to 680.0 thousand metric tons, the trend reflects a modest yet consistent decrease.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in global soybean supply and prices, which could affect import volumes.
- Shifts in French agricultural policy and potential impacts on domestic soybean production.
- Possible changes in demand due to dietary trends or economic factors affecting consumption.
