The forecasted per capita consumption of milled or broken rice in the UK shows a gradual decline from 6.47 kilograms in 2024 to 6.24 kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease averaging 0.8% over the forecast period. Compared to 2023, the consumption was slightly higher, reflecting a trend towards lower rice consumption per person in the coming years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Consumer dietary preferences shifting towards alternative grains or other carbohydrate sources.
- Potential impact of economic factors on consumer spending and food choices.
- Environmental sustainability and possible impacts of climate change on rice production.
