In 2023, buckwheat production in China stood at approximately 290 thousand metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease: a 11.7% drop in 2025, a 12.9% fall in 2026, a 14.5% decline in 2027, and a further 16.7% reduction in 2028. This results in a negative compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential innovations or changes in agricultural practices that might reverse or stabilize the declining trend in production.
The broader impact of climate change on agricultural outputs in China, especially for temperature-sensitive crops such as buckwheat.
Shifts in domestic and international demand for buckwheat, potentially driven by health and dietary trends.
