In 2023, Italy imported peas at a volume of 154.0 thousand metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a steady increase in import volume, from 157.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 170.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year growth, with variations ranging around 2-3% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year horizon is approximately 2%.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include potential changes in domestic pea production, shifts in dietary preferences towards plant-based proteins, and the impact of international trade policies. These factors could significantly influence Italy’s pea import volumes in the future.
