In 2023, the area of rapeseed fully converted to organic farming in Italy was relatively low. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 predict a steady start with a significant increase anticipated in 2028, where it reaches 0.04% of the Total Utilised Agricultural Area. From 2024 through 2027, the conversion rate remains constant at 0.03%, before showing growth by 2028. The calculated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is modest, indicating slow progress in the adoption of organic practices for rapeseed cultivation.
Future trends to monitor include potential policy changes incentivizing organic farming, technological advancements in agriculture that facilitate organic practices, and consumer demand shifts towards sustainably produced products, which could accelerate the transition to organic farming beyond current forecasts.
- Stable conversion rate expected between 2024-2027.
- Notable increase forecasted by 2028.
