The forecast for the import of crude sunflower-seed and safflower oil to France suggests a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 133.05 million kilograms in 2024 and dropping to 87.406 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, imports are projected to decrease annually, indicating a downward trend in demand or a shift in sourcing patterns. Year-on-year reductions include an average reduction of approximately 10% annually. The CAGR for the period is expected to be negative as well, confirming the consistent decrease in imports envisioned.
Future trends to watch include emerging substitutes for sunflower-seed and safflower oil, changing dietary preferences in France, and potential changes in domestic production capabilities that might further affect import levels. Additionally, alterations in trade agreements or tariffs, as well as the impact of global environmental policies, could also affect future import levels.
