Based on the available data, Germany's sunflower seed import volume is projected to gradually decline from 413,000 metric tons in 2024 to 405,000 metric tons in 2028. Historically, the import volume in 2023 stood at 415,000 metric tons, indicating a slight downward trend. The steady decrease over the forecast period reflects a minor annual reduction, averaging less than 1% per year.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in global sunflower seed supply chains due to geopolitical shifts.
Adaptations in domestic production capacities in response to evolving agricultural policies.
Shifting consumer preferences towards alternative oils or seeds impacting demand.
