In 2023, the volume of sugar cane processing in France stood at 1.15 million metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts predict a steady decline in volume: 1.13 million metric tons in 2024, 1.11 in 2025, 1.08 in 2026, 1.06 in 2027, and 1.04 in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.77% from 2024 to 2025, 2.70% from 2025 to 2026, 1.85% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.89% from 2027 to 2028. Over the last two years, the volume decreased by 7.6%, while the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is approximately -2.05%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in agricultural practices, technological advancements in sugar cane processing, and changes in the global demand for sugar. Additionally, climate change and environmental regulations could impact production efficiencies and crop yields, further influencing the processing volumes.
