The forecast for sunflower seed feed in Germany shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with the market decreasing from 141,000 metric tons in 2024 to 132,000 metric tons in 2028. This represents a declining trend, with a noticeable decrease of approximately 1.3% year-on-year. This is a continuance of the decelerating demand seen in recent years, as consumption prior to 2024 was higher.
Future Trends to Watch:
- Potential shifts towards alternative feed sources could further impact demand.
- Changes in agricultural policies and subsidies within the EU might influence sunflower seed production and pricing.
- The growing emphasis on sustainability and local sourcing may alter consumption patterns.
