The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled aubergines to France from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline from 42.648 million kilograms in 2024 to 42.109 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year decrease, averaging a CAGR that suggests a subtle contraction of the market over this period. Given the actual volume in 2023 was higher, the downward trend points towards diminishing demand or increased domestic production. The past two years show consistency in this decline, confirming it as a persistent trend.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences, potential impacts of trade regulations, and improvements in agriculture technology which might alter domestic production capacity. Changes in climate conditions might also affect production, impacting import needs.
