The forecast for the import of rape, colza, and mustard oil into Italy shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 21.046 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 18.039 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 3.6% annually on average over the forecast period. In 2023, the import level was projected to be slightly higher, suggesting a steady reduction trend over five years. The cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period indicates a gradual contraction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities or changes in consumer preferences that might drive demand for alternative oils. Additionally, international trade policies and economic conditions could significantly impact future import volumes into Italy.
