In 2023, France imported 10.7 Million Kilograms of prepared or preserved palm hearts. The forecast suggests a modest declining trend in imports through 2028, seeing minor year-on-year decreases. Specifically, a year-on-year decline of approximately 1.52% is anticipated from 2024 to 2025, continuing with a similar pattern, with a 1.51% decrease in subsequent years. The average annual decrease projected over the five-year period (CAGR) is around 1.57%, indicating a steady, slight reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch include potential variations in consumer preferences towards plant-based products and shifts in global palm heart production impacting imports. Monitoring changes in trade agreements or tariffs affecting palm heart import costs is also essential.
