The forecast for the UK's import of oranges from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in volume from 257.17 million kilograms in 2024 to 246.42 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to previous years, this represents a steady downward trend. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decrease, with each year experiencing a reduction of approximately 1% in imports. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period reflects a modest negative growth rate, indicating a gradual decrease in orange import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards locally sourced or alternative citrus fruits, changes in trade policies, and possible impacts of climate change on global orange production, which could further influence import volumes.
