The import of rape or colza seed oilcake and other solid residues to Italy is projected to decline over the next five years, with the value decreasing from 13.958 million USD in 2024 to 11.555 million USD in 2028. This trend reflects an average annual decrease (CAGR) over this period. Compared to 2023, where imports were valued significantly higher, this indicates a consistent downturn in demand or supply alteration.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in agricultural policies in the EU may impact supply chains and import volumes.
- Technological advancements in agriculture could alter the demand for traditional oilseed cakes.
- Changes in dietary trends promoting sustainable and alternative protein sources may also influence import dynamics.
