Forecasts suggest a gradual increase in the UK's buckwheat imports, with volumes expected to rise from 1.6857 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.7904 million kilograms by 2028. However, as the base volume for 2023 is not provided, we focus on year-on-year trends and Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028. The average annual growth is about 1.5%, signaling a steady incline in imports driven by health trends and potential supply chain expansions.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changing consumer preferences towards gluten-free and healthy foods.
- Policy changes affecting agricultural imports post-Brexit.
- Global production impacts due to climate change.
