In 2023, the actual consumption of barley feed in Italy stood at 1.12 Million Metric Tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a slight downward trend, with values maintaining at 1.12 Million Metric Tons until 2025, decreasing slightly to 1.11 Million Metric Tons by 2026-2027 and further declining to 1.10 Million Metric Tons by 2028. Year-on-year changes display minimal variation, indicating a stable demand with a very gradual decrease, as evidenced by expected figures.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from dietary shifts in animal feed, regulatory changes in agriculture, and climate change effects on barley production, which could influence supply and demand dynamics in the coming years.
