In 2023, Belgium led European imports of animal feed preparations, followed by Germany and the Netherlands. While Belgium and France both posted growths above 3%, Hungary had the most significant increase at 7.77%. Contrarily, the Netherlands and Ireland reported declines in import volumes, reflecting regional market volatility.
Over the past five years, the average growth in European imports of animal feed prep has shown a stable but moderate increase, affected by fluctuating trends in individual countries like Luxembourg with its robust annual change of 7.9% in 2023, and decreases seen in the Netherlands.
Future trends suggest a necessary focus on sustainability and self-sufficiency in animal feed production, potentially impacting import volumes. Policies on agricultural practices within the EU may further influence these trends, with initiatives towards reducing dependency on non-EU imports and increasing circular agriculture practices.
