In 2023, Germany's sugar beet losses were estimated at 1.48 million metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decrease in losses, starting at 1.46 million metric tons in 2024 and declining to 1.44 million metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations demonstrate a slight decline: 0% from 2024 to 2025, approximately -0.7% from 2025 to 2026, and -0.7% from 2026 to 2027, continuing at 0% to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is approximately -0.5%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on crop yields, advancements in agricultural technology to reduce losses, and shifts in domestic or European sugar consumption and production policies. Continuous monitoring of these factors will be critical in predicting future sugar beet loss trends in Germany.
