In 2024, the forecast indicates a re-import value of prepared or preserved tomatoes to China at $181.18 thousand. This marks a decrease given that past actual values were higher, with 2023 seeing imports at a higher level, although exact data from 2023 is unavailable here. The year-on-year decrease is evident from 2025 onwards, with values declining through to 2028, reflecting a consistent downward trend. Significant year-on-year percentage reductions characterize this period, with a five-year outlook showing a compounded annual rate decline.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in domestic tomato production and consumption patterns, global supply chain adjustments, and changes in international trade policies that could further impact import levels. Adapting to sustainable production and consumption models may also redefine import needs and market dynamics.
