In 2023, France imported semi- or wholly milled or broken rice totaling 528.25 million kilograms. The forecast demonstrates a steady increase from 2024 through 2028, with expected imports of 538.36 million kilograms in 2024, rising to 578.13 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year growth is projected to remain consistent, reflecting an increase of approximately 1.87% per year over the five-year span. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 1.85% for the period from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from changing consumer preferences, shifts in global rice production, and tariffs or trade agreements that may influence France's import dynamics. Additionally, economic trends affecting consumer purchasing power in France could impact rice consumption and import levels.
