The forecast for roots and tubers yield in the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing year-on-year. Comparing the forecasted data shows a steady decrease, where the yield is expected to drop from 358.03 thousand hectograms per hectare in 2024 to 345.49 in 2028. This indicates a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period, reflecting a consistent downward trend in productivity compared to 2023 levels, which need to be considered by UK agricultural stakeholders.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change, policy changes post-Brexit affecting agricultural funding and practices, and advancements in agritech to potentially reverse declining yields.
