In 2023, the value of fresh cherry imports to Italy stood at 24.662 million USD. The forecasted data shows a steady decline from 24.556 million USD in 2024 to 24.136 million USD by 2028. This indicates a gradual downward trend in the import of fresh cherries, with year-on-year percentage decreases of approximately 0.44% from 2024 to 2025, 0.43% from 2025 to 2026, 0.43% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.42% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years is projected to be -0.43%, reflecting a consistent decline in import value.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production, which could impact import needs, as well as changes in consumer preferences towards local or alternative fruits. Additionally, market fluctuations and trade policies could further influence these import values.
