In 2023, Italy's roots and tubers production reached 1.231 million metric tons. Forecasts suggest a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, with production values decreasing annually from 1.2069 to 1.116 million metric tons. The year-on-year percentage variation reveals a consistent negative trend, highlighting a gradual decrease over the forecasted years. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year period indicates an average annual decline in production volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change on agriculture, potentially influencing production patterns.
Changes in consumer preferences that might shift demand for different types of crops.
Innovations in agricultural technology that could improve yields and reverse declining trends.
