The wheat groats and meal market in Croatia has shown a fluctuating yet slightly increasing trend from 2013 to 2023, culminating at 4.71 kilograms per capita in 2023. This represents a modest growth over the decade. Specifically, over the last two years, the year-on-year variation was 0.85% from 2022 to 2023 and 0.64% from 2021 to 2022. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at approximately 0.64%, suggesting a steady, if gradual, increase in per capita consumption.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of health-conscious eating habits driving potentially higher demand, and any economic or agricultural policy changes affecting wheat production and distribution in Croatia.
