In 2023, Germany's barley import volume stood at 1.69 million metric tons. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady but slight increase in barley imports, with volumes ranging from 1.7 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.73 million metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 is modest, reflecting minor increases each year.
Key future trends to watch for include:
- Global trade policies and tariffs could impact import volumes.
- Domestic production changes might reduce dependence on imports.
- Climate change affecting global barley supply could alter import requirements.
