The land area equipped for irrigation in France, as of 2023, was 2.89 million hectares. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent annual increase of 0.01 million hectares each year, resulting in an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.34%. This steady growth highlights a mild but positive trend in expanding irrigation infrastructure over the forecast period.
In terms of future trends, consideration should be given to potential impacts of climate change, advances in irrigation technology, and government policies promoting sustainable agriculture, which could influence the pace and scale of irrigation developments in France.
