The forecasted data indicates a gradual decline in the import of fresh strawberries to Germany from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing yearly. The starting import volume in 2024 is 102.77 million kilograms, while by 2028 it decreases to 101.16 million kilograms. Assuming that the 2023 import volume stood at 103 million kilograms, this elucidates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.4% to 0.5%. Over the five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is around -0.3%, indicating a slow but steady decline in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in domestic production, changes in consumption patterns towards more sustainable and locally sourced products, potential impacts of climate change on strawberry yields in exporting countries, and evolving trade policies that could influence import volumes.
