In 2023, the import of fresh or chilled beans to Italy stood at $33.16 million. Forecast data suggest a consistent upward trend from 2024, with expected year-on-year growth ranging from 1.35% to 1.23% up to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be around 1.28%, indicating a steady, albeit slow, increase in import values.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in dietary preferences towards fresh produce and the potential impact on import demand.
Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and international trade policies that may affect import costs and volumes.
Rising emphasis on sustainable and organic farming, which may shift supply chains and influence import dynamics.
