In 2023, Italy's potato production stood at 1.31 million metric tons. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a slight decline with stable volumes ranging from 1.3 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.28 million metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations illustrate marginal changes with a 0.77% decline from 1.3 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.29 million metric tons in 2025, and a continuous small decrease through to 2028. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projected over these five years is at a negative 0.61%, indicating a somewhat flat, slightly decreasing trend.
Future trends to watch for include influences from climate change on crop yields, potential increases in demand due to shifts in consumer preferences toward carbohydrate-rich foods, and advancements in agricultural technology that could enhance yields. These factors could have significant impacts on Italy's potato production landscape beyond 2028.
