The harvested production of lettuces in Switzerland is forecasted to decline steadily from 41.58 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 35.83 thousand metric tons in 2028. Analyzing the year-on-year variation, we observe decreasing trends of approximately 3.5% to 4% annually. Since the data from 2023 is essential to contextualize these trends, it is worth noting the production level in that year to understand the forecasted decrease better. Overall, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period indicates a consistent downward trajectory in lettuce production.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in agricultural practices, advancements in technology that may improve yield efficiency, climate change impacts on crop viability, and evolving consumer preferences that could influence market demand. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for understanding the broader agricultural landscape in Switzerland.
