The trade balance for used crop residues in Italy is forecasted to remain relatively stable from 2024 to 2028, with a small incremental increase from 8.25 Thousand Metric Tons in 2024 and 2025 to 8.26 Thousand Metric Tons from 2026 onward. Compared to 2023, these forecasted figures indicate no significant growth, suggesting a challenging environment for substantial change year-on-year. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) provides a negligible average annual increase over five years.
Future trends to watch include potential policy shifts towards sustainable agriculture, which could impact supply and demand dynamics, as well as technological advances in residue utilization that might alter the trade landscape.
