The forecast for fig production in Italy indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 9.25 thousand metric tons in 2024, production is expected to decrease steadily to 7.62 thousand metric tons by 2028. The dataset reveals a consistent year-on-year decrease, with production reducing by approximately 4.54% annually on average. For context, in 2023, fig production was higher than in 2024, marking the start of this downward trend. Over the five-year period, fig production shows a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflective of diminishing output.
Looking ahead, it is essential to watch potential impacts of climate change, shifts in agricultural practices, and economic policies affecting fig cultivation. Monitoring sustainability initiatives and innovations in farming techniques could also influence future production volumes positively or negatively.
