As of 2023, France's import volume for fresh or chilled onions and shallots stood at a certain baseline level. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 demonstrates a gradual year-on-year increase: 159.54 million kg in 2024, rising incrementally to 167.47 million kg by 2028. This period reflects a steady annual growth trend, indicating a growing demand or shift in supply requirements. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is consistent with this upward trajectory, emphasizing a sustained import growth pattern.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of agricultural policy changes, climatic factors affecting domestic production, and broader shifts in consumer preferences for imported produce. Trade partnerships and international price fluctuations will also play crucial roles in determining future import volumes.
