The import of vegetable materials, waste, residues, and by-products to Italy is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. The volume starts at 35.836 million kilograms in 2024 and grows to 37.596 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, which recorded an actual volume of approximately 35.5 million kilograms, the import is expected to grow modestly year-on-year.
