The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled whole chickens to Italy from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady increase from 8.2973 million kilograms in 2024 to 9.6635 million kilograms in 2028. Given that the imports stood at 7.95 million kilograms in 2023, the year-on-year growth from 2023 to 2024 is approximately 4.3%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the projected period is about 3.8%. These trends suggest a continuous rise in demand.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards organic or locally sourced products, which may affect import volumes. Additionally, modifications in trade policies and tariffs within the EU could impact cost structures and import strategies.
