The forecast for re-imports of melons to France shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing from approximately 335.38 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 161.06 thousand kilograms by 2028. As of 2023, the actual volume figures were not specified, but the predictions emphasize a year-on-year decline in this period. Notably, from 2024 to 2025, there is a noticeable reduction, reflecting diminishing demand or supply constraints.
The future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in domestic melon production affecting re-import needs.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards locally-sourced produce.
- Climate impact on melon production in key export countries.
- Trade policy developments influencing France's import strategy.
