The import of common wheat and spelt groats and meal to the UK is projected to decline from 191.48 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 123.44 thousand kilograms in 2028. Comparing year-on-year data, the volume contracts at an average annual rate (CAGR) over five years. While specific historical data for 2023 isn’t provided, the forecast suggests a notable decline. This trend reflects a decreasing reliance on these imports or perhaps a shift towards domestic production or other substitutes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in agricultural policies that might influence the import volume.
- Fluctuations in global wheat prices, impacting import demand.
- Potential rise in demand for alternative grains impacting wheat imports.
