In 2023, wages and salaries in Italy's agriculture, forestry, and seafood sectors stood at 8.39 billion euros. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts predict a consistent upward trajectory in these sectors, with an average annual increase of approximately 1.4%.

Climate change effects on yield, potentially affecting labor demands and salary negotiations.
Increasing regulatory changes and policies promoting sustainability, influencing labor costs and market dynamics within these sectors.
