The forecast for Italy's import of fresh grapes shows a slight year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028, with volumes dropping from 20.877 million kilograms in 2024 to 20.791 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a minimal decrease in quantity, which signals a stable but slightly declining trend when considering the predicted data.
Current data for 2023 indicates that imports stood at approximately 20.9 million kilograms. Over the forecasted period, the average year-on-year change is negligible, showing a market maintaining a steady downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch include changes in domestic production capabilities, consumer preferences for locally sourced produce, and potential impacts of international trade policies. Additionally, sustainability trends might encourage shifts towards more local sourcing, affecting import volumes.
