In 2023, China's potato import volume stood at approximately 648 thousand metric tons. The forecast for 2024 indicates an import volume of 658.67 thousand metric tons, reflecting modest growth. Between 2024 and 2028, the potato import volume is predicted to rise steadily, with annual increases averaging around 1.6%. By 2028, imports are projected to reach 702.01 thousand metric tons. This shows a consistent upward trend, driven by rising domestic demand and potential supply chain optimizations.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in trade policies affecting import levels.
- Domestic production capabilities possibly impacting import requirements.
- Demand dynamics tied to dietary changes and potato-based product consumption.
