The import of residues of starch manufacture and similar residues to China is projected to decrease from 2024 to 2028. Beginning at 103.0 million kilograms in 2024 and declining to 91.44 million kilograms by 2028, the trend indicates a steady annual decrease. The year-on-year percentage changes show consistent declines, suggesting a negative trajectory in the import volumes. In 2023, the actual import value was slightly higher, highlighting a downward adjustment in the subsequent forecasted years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in China's domestic starch manufacturing capabilities which could influence import needs.
Global supply chain changes affecting residue availability and cost-efficiency.
The impact of environmental policies and sustainability trends on import and consumption practices.
Economic factors affecting broader agricultural commodity markets and bilateral trade agreements.
