The forecasted import of broken rice to the US shows a gradual decline from 34.4 million kilograms in 2024 to 33.491 million kilograms in 2028. This follows a slight downward trend with an annual decrease of about 0.7% over the five-year period. Comparatively, from 2024 to 2025, the volume dropped by approximately 0.7%, maintaining a similar year-on-year reduction up to 2028. In 2023, import volume stood around the higher end of the forecasted figures, indicating a consistent reduction pattern. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a subtle yet steady decline trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential policy changes impacting rice import tariffs.
- Evolving consumer preferences towards alternative grains.
- Supply chain dynamics and their effect on import costs.
