In 2023, the production of sloes and plums in France stood at 197.38 thousand metric tons. The forecast for the upcoming years shows a consistent slight decline from 2024 onwards, with production expected to decrease incrementally each year from 196.98 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 195.42 in 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a steady decrease of approximately 0.2% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is negative, signaling a gradual decrease in production volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on fruit yield, changes in agricultural practices, and consumer demand shifts that might influence production trends. Monitoring these variables will be essential for future forecasting and strategic planning in the industry.
