In 2023, Germany's import of fresh or chilled asparagus stood at an actual volume of approximately 23 million kilograms. Forecast data indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with the import volume expected to decrease each year. The annual year-on-year variation presents a steady decline of around 1.33% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of climate change on asparagus production in exporting countries, possibly influencing supply.
- Changing consumer preferences towards locally sourced or organic produce may affect import volumes.
- Trade policy changes or tariffs that could affect the cost competitiveness of imported asparagus.
