In 2023, the import of maize groats or meal to France stood at 17.865 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted imports are expected to show a consistent upward trend. Specifically, the annual increase in imports is projected to vary between approximately 3.05% and 3.42% year-on-year. This steady growth results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 2.80% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in demand for maize-based products in France that could influence import levels.
- The impact of trade policies and tariffs between France and maize-exporting countries.
- Technological advances in agriculture that might affect global maize production and pricing.
