In 2023, China's sunflower seed import volume stood at 167.4 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast data shows a steady increase in import volumes, with anticipated growth each year: 173.7, 180.1, 186.4, 192.6, and 198.6 thousand metric tons respectively. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth ranging from 3.7% to 3.1%, and an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.4% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in China's agricultural policies, shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier eating habits, and global supply fluctuations that may impact the demand for imported sunflower seeds. Trade relations and tariff adjustments could also play significant roles in shaping the import landscape.
