In 2023, Italy imported approximately 8.8747 million kilograms of provisionally preserved olives. From 2024 onwards, projected imports show a consistent upward trend, beginning with 9.0698 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 9.8698 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates reveal an approximate increase of 2.27% annually.
