In 2023, the direct material inputs for fodder crops and grazed biomass in France stood at 77.30 million metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decline in these inputs, from 76.67 to 74.18 million metric tons. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.82% for 2024-2025, roughly 0.83% for 2025-2026, about 0.82% for 2026-2027, and around 0.82% for 2027-2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -0.82%, indicating a consistent reduction in volume.
Factors to watch for future trends include climate change impacts on agricultural productivity, potential innovations in sustainable livestock practices, and policy changes affecting agricultural production dynamics in France. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for anticipating shifts in fodder crop demand and biomass utilization.
