The data indicates that Italy's consumption of roots and tubers is forecasted to remain relatively stable from 2024 to 2028, with a slight decrease from 2.36 million metric tons in 2024 and 2025 to 2.35 million metric tons from 2026 onwards. This consistency suggests a negligible year-on-year growth rate, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period approximating zero, reflecting stability in domestic demand.
Future trends to consider:
- Potential impacts from climate change on agricultural yields and domestic supply.
- Changes in consumer preferences potentially driven by health trends or dietary shifts.
- Impact of Italy's trade policies on import volumes which could affect domestic consumption.
