As of 2023, France imported fresh or chilled spinach amounting to approximately 4.82 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend in import volume, gradually increasing from 4.88 million kilograms in 2024 to 5.08 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a year-on-year growth, with percentages reflecting incremental volume increases: about 1.05% from 2024 to 2025, 1.01% from 2025 to 2026, 0.99% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.96% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is approximately 1.0%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of changing consumer preferences towards healthier diets, which could boost demand for spinach, as well as trade policy changes that might affect import dynamics. Additionally, shifts in agricultural production and climate change effects may influence availability and pricing, impacting import volumes. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for accurately predicting future import trends.
