In 2023, the gross production of sloes and plums in Italy was recorded at 131.44 million USD, based on PPP of 2004-2006 values. The forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady annual increase, with expected values rising from 132.09 million USD in 2024 to 134.66 million USD by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate shows slight increments, with an average CAGR over the five years suggesting an overall moderate growth trend.
Looking forward, key trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on fruit yields, shifts in consumer preferences towards organic produce, and trade policy changes within the EU that may influence export dynamics for Italian producers.
