The import of fresh or chilled tomatoes to France is forecasted to show a slight declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume was 467.21 million kilograms. From 2024, when imports are expected to reach 465.1 million kilograms, there’s a projected annual decrease of approximately 0.56% over five years, resulting in imports falling to 456.23 million kilograms by 2028.

Key future trends to monitor include:

Potential shifts in domestic production and yield efficiency in France affecting import needs.
Climate change and its impact on European tomato yields and import reliance.
Trade policy changes within the EU and with major non-EU suppliers.
Developments in consumer preferences towards organic or other specialty tomato types.
