The forecast for Italy's import of frozen bone-in swine hams, shoulders, and cuts indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from 5.9068 million kilograms in 2024 to 4.6833 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline, averaging around 5.8% annually over the given period. In 2023, the imports stood at a similar or slightly lower level as 2024 predicted, setting the context for this negative trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from international trade policies, shifts in domestic consumption patterns, and possible changes in competition from other meat imports. These factors could influence the pace and extent of the decline in imports over the coming years.
