Based on forecast data from 2024-2028, Italy's domestic extraction used for biomass in food and feed shows a consistent downward trend. In 2024, it is projected at 87.2 million metric tons. By 2028, the volume decreases to 82.49 million metric tons, indicating a steady annual decline. This represents a total drop of approximately 5.38% over five years. Year-over-year, the reduction averages around 1% to 1.5%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts towards sustainable agricultural practices that may impact biomass extraction rates.
Policy changes in the European Union that could influence agricultural production and resource utilization.
Developments in alternative protein sources that reduce reliance on traditional biomass for feed.
