The forecasted yields of chicory and lettuce in the US from 2024 to 2028 exhibit a downward trend, decreasing from 335.26 to 329.78 thousand hectograms per hectare. As of 2023, the yield stood at a slightly higher level, indicating a gradual decline in productivity over these years. The year-on-year reductions correspond to a steady but modest drop of roughly 0.43% annually. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a consistent declining pattern in productivity.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of climate change on crop yields and farming practices.
- Advancements in agricultural technology that may reverse the yield decline.
- Shifts in consumer demand affecting chicory and lettuce production priorities.
- Policy changes influencing agricultural incentives and sustainability measures.
