The import of dried shelled kidney beans and white pea beans to Italy is forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, beginning at a volume of 139.16 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 146.05 million kilograms by 2028. This consistent rise indicates an annual growth trajectory of approximately 1.3%. This upward trend reflects increased demand domestically or a shift in dietary preferences toward more plant-based sources of protein.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences from global trade agreements, shifts in agricultural practices affecting bean production, and changing consumer preferences in Italy regarding health and sustainability, which could further impact import volumes.
