As of 2023, France imported a certain base volume of cereal straw and husks, and the forecasts from 2024 to 2028 project a gradual decline in imports, from 33.565 million kilograms in 2024 to 32.968 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year, the forecasted data suggest a minimal but consistent decrease, reflecting an average annual decline, noted by a sharp reduction towards the end of this period.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential shifts in domestic production of straw and husks impacting imports.
Changes in agricultural policies within France and the EU affecting trade incentives.
Environmental considerations and new technologies reducing dependency on imports.
