The forecast for the import of crude sunflower-seed and safflower oil to Italy shows a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 485.25 million kilograms in 2024, it decreases steadily to 458.87 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to the previous actual data from 2023, there has been a decrease, indicating a downward trajectory in import volumes.
From 2024 to 2025, the year-on-year percentage change is a decline, and this decreasing pattern continues through 2028, reflecting a steady average rate of decrease across these years. This trend signifies potential shifts in Italy’s domestic production, consumption, or changes in global market dynamics.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental changes on oilseed yield, shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative oils, and geopolitical influences affecting trade agreements and tariffs which may further influence import volumes into Italy.
