In 2024, the forecasted import of fresh or chilled potatoes to Germany is 458.97 million kilograms, marking a decline from 2023. The imports are projected to reduce year-on-year, with a consistent annual decrease of approximately 2% through to 2028, reaching 424.34 million kilograms. This declining trend suggests a compounded average rate of negative growth over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of domestic agricultural policies on local potato production.
- Potential changes in European Union trade relationships affecting import dynamics.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative products or local sourcing.
