Between 2014 and 2023, Germany’s maize export volume declined steadily, with a notable drop in 2015 (-11.75%) and a general trend of slight declines in subsequent years. In 2023, the volume stood at 588.0 thousand metric tons, marking a year-on-year decrease of 1.84%. The average annual decline (CAGR) over the last five years was -1.09%. From 2024 onwards, forecast data suggests that maize export volumes will continue to decrease, with a projected CAGR of -1.58% by 2028, representing a total reduction of approximately 7.64% from 2023 levels.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global maize supply and demand dynamics, changes in Germany’s agricultural policies, potential trade agreements, and the impact of climate change on maize production. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for accurately predicting future export volumes.
