The starchy vegetable consumption in the US is predicted to consistently decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 129.64 pounds in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 125.84 pounds by 2028. In comparison, 2023 data showed a consumption level slightly above these projections. The year-on-year variation indicates a diminishing pattern, with annual reductions slightly over 0.7% each year. Over the five-year span from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) presents a negative trajectory, suggesting ongoing reduction in demand.
Trends to watch include increasing consumer preferences for low-carb diets, alternative vegetable options, and potential economic factors affecting food choice. These elements may further influence starchy vegetable consumption patterns in the coming years.
