The forecast for pulses imports to Italy, expressed in metric tons per capita, shows a steady increase from 2024 through 2028. With imports anticipated to rise from 0.011 in 2024 to 0.014 in 2028, the year-on-year growth reflects an average annual increase of approximately 6.6% in the early period, tapering off towards the latter years. This suggests a stable upward trend over the forecasted period without major fluctuations.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts in dietary preferences towards more plant-based nutrition could drive further increases in pulse imports.
Trade agreements and tariffs may impact import volumes and need close monitoring.
Environmental factors affecting pulses' availability globally could alter these projections.
