The number of organic sheep in France is forecasted to grow consistently over the next five years, starting from 2024. In 2023, this number stood slightly below 1 million heads. Comparing from 2024 onwards, there is a projected year-on-year growth of approximately 5% to 6%. This healthy rate of increase indicates a strong upward trend, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4.6% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increased demand for organic products might spur further developments and policies favoring organic farming.
- Potential supply chain challenges, such as feed availability, may impact growth rates.
- Evolving consumer preferences and environmental policies could further influence the organic livestock sector's dynamics.
