The forecast for France's pulses yield from 2024 to 2028 indicates a declining trend, with yields decreasing gradually each year. The yield stood at 27.87 thousand hectograms per hectare in 2024 and is predicted to drop to 25.74 by 2028. This marks a cumulative decline of approximately 7.6% over the five-year period. The year-on-year percentage variation shows a consistent decrease, with an average annual decline of 1.96% CAGR from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Climate change impact on agricultural productivity, potentially exacerbating yield declines.
- Advances in agricultural technology and practices that could help stabilize or improve yield outcomes.
- Market demand fluctuations for pulses, driven by dietary trends and global supply chain dynamics.
- Policy changes in agricultural subsidies and environmental regulations that may affect production incentives and methods.
