In 2023, Germany imported valued at $17.26 million in hulled, pearled, sliced, or kibbled maize. Based on the forecasted data, imports are expected to see a very slight year-on-year increase, with values reaching $17.311 million by 2028. This amounts to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 0.2% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028. This trend suggests a stable and marginal increase in imports.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in domestic maize production, which could impact import requirements.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards more processed forms of maize, influencing import demands.
- Trade policy adjustments between Germany and key maize-exporting countries.
