In 2023, France's maize export volume stood at 4.5 million metric tons. The forecast for 2024 is 4.38 million metric tons, showing a slight year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.7%. This downward trend is expected to continue through 2028, with volumes predicted to decline to 3.96 million metric tons. Over the forecasted period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decrease of around 2.4%.

Future trends to watch for:

Emerging competition from other maize-exporting countries could impact France's market share.
Changes in European Union agricultural policies might substantially affect production and export capabilities.
Climate change impacts on crop yield and quality continue to pose a potential threat to production stability.
Technological advancements and adaptation in farming practices could alter current export forecasts positively.
