Italy's in-shell hen egg production is forecasted to decrease gradually from 718.74 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 715.67 thousand metric tons in 2028. This reflects a consistent, albeit slight, annual decline across these years. The year-over-year changes indicate a steady reduction, with the sector seeing a contraction from its 2023 actual figures, marking a negative trend likely attributable to external market pressures or shifts in consumption patterns.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of sustainability policies on egg production practices.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards plant-based diets.
- Potential economic factors affecting poultry farming costs.
