The forecast for the import of prepared or preserved tomatoes to France from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase from 124.93 million kilograms in 2024 to 128.5 million kilograms in 2028. This signifies a gradual and consistent annual growth, reflecting a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.7%-0.8%.
In 2023, the actual imports were slightly below the forecasted 2024 figure of 124.93 million kilograms, suggesting a modest upward trend expected over the coming years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period indicates a stable growth trend in the import volume.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based diets, which could potentially boost the demand. Additionally, any changes in trade policies or agricultural yields in tomato-producing countries could impact the import dynamics.
