The forecast for fodder crops and grazed biomass imports to Italy indicates a slight decline from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 16.82 thousand metric tons in 2024 and gradually decreasing to 16.74 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a subtle downward trend, with an average annual reduction observed over the forecast period. In 2023, the imports stood at a similar level, ensuring the changes projected for upcoming years are relatively modest.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change on domestic production, possibly affecting import needs.
Shifts in domestic agricultural policies influencing import volumes.
Potential technological advancements in agriculture enhancing local yield, thereby reducing reliance on imports.
