The forecast for the import of dried shelled lentils to Germany predicts a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with the import value expected to increase from approximately $46.3 million USD in 2024 to about $50.5 million USD in 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year growth, with an average annual increase of around 5%. Although specific figures for 2023 aren’t provided, the upward momentum suggests resilience in demand and a stable market condition.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Fluctuations in global supply chain and trade policies that may impact import costs and supply continuity.
- Consumer trends towards plant-based diets, potentially driving further demand for lentils.
- Economic factors within Germany, including inflation and purchasing power, which could affect import volumes.
