The trade balance for roots and tubers in France is projected to show a consistent increasing deficit from 2024 to 2028. Starting at a deficit of 1,930,000 metric tons in 2024, the forecast predicts this will expand to 2,070,000 metric tons by 2028. This demonstrates a steady year-on-year increase in the trade deficit of approximately 1.5% to 2% each year across this period. As of 2023, before the forecasts, the actual trade deficit stood notably lower, marking a concerning trend for future trade balance.
Future trends to watch for include changes in domestic production levels, shifts in consumer demand within France, and international trade agreements that may affect import and export scales. Monitoring regulation changes and environmental impacts affecting crop yields might also play a crucial role in shaping this trade balance.
