The global export of flax is dominated by France, with substantial contributions from Belgium and Lithuania. Noteworthy y-o-y changes in 2023 included robust growth in Slovakia and South Africa. Conversely, the Netherlands and Canada faced notable declines. Over a 5-year period, Eastern European countries like Poland and Belarus established themselves as emerging exporters, with consistent growth. Meanwhile, traditional exporters like Italy and Denmark showed moderate increases. Despite a significant dip in Canada and Ukraine's export values, other countries experienced minor fluctuations.
Future trends indicate that Western Europe's heavyweights, France and Belgium, will likely continue to dominate, but increasing competition may arise from Eastern European and North African countries given their potential for cultivated area expansion. The anticipated slight decrease in North American exports may further reshape market dynamics, while geopolitical factors could impact Eastern European countries.
