The import of fresh or chilled chicory to France is projected to decline from 14.396 million kilograms in 2024 to 9.6339 million kilograms by 2028. This marks a consistent year-on-year decline, with 2024 seeing a 8.5% drop, 2025 a 9.1% decrease, and trends continuing sharply downward in subsequent years with 2026 at 9.6%, 2027 at 9.8%, and 2028 at an expected 10.7%. Over these five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is forecasted to be negative, reflecting reduced demand or increased domestic production.
Future trends to monitor include changes in domestic agricultural policies, international trade agreements that might affect import costs, and potential shifts in consumer preferences towards locally produced alternatives. These factors could significantly influence the market dynamics for chicory imports in France.
