As of 2023, oilseed losses in Italy are recorded at an actual level preceding the forecasted values. From 2024, these losses are forecasted to increase slightly each year, from 56.0 thousand metric tons to 58.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. The upward trend reflects a consistent, albeit modest, annual increase, showing no change between 2024 and 2025, with values stagnating between 2025-2026, then rising equivalently into 2027 and 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impact of climate change on agricultural yields which might exacerbate oilseed losses.
Implementation of advanced agricultural technologies aimed at loss reduction.
Policy interventions or market shifts that could affect oilseed production efficiency.
