In 2023, the US imported 144 thousand metric tons of olives. The forecast shows a steady import volume of 145 thousand metric tons for 2024 and 2025, with a slight increase to 146 thousand metric tons from 2026 to 2028. This reflects a minimal year-on-year growth, averaging around 0.14% annually over the forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards local or organic olives may impact import volumes.
The impact of trade policies and agricultural developments in major olive-exporting countries.
Changes in US dietary trends and their influence on olive consumption habits.
