The forecasted import of dried shelled broad beans and horse beans to the UK displays a gradual decrease from 2024 to 2028, indicating a consistent trend of declining volume. Starting at 762.64 thousand kilograms in 2024, there is an annual reduction leading to 680.53 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.78% from 2024 to 2025, and a consistent trend thereafter, reflecting a potential shift in market demand or sourcing strategies.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential influences from changing dietary habits in the UK towards more plant-based diets that could revitalize demand.
The effects of domestic agricultural policies that may impact import requirements.
Global market conditions, such as climate change or international trade agreements, affecting the production and availability of these beans.
