In 2023, Italy was the leading importer of soya among the European countries listed, with imports reaching 2.88 million metric tons, followed by Portugal at 1.64 million metric tons. Other countries such as Romania and Greece imported significantly less, with quantities under 0.3 million metric tons. Countries like Latvia and Lithuania were at the bottom of the list, each importing less than 0.005 million metric tons. Over the past year, import levels remained stable across these countries, with no recorded growth or decline in this period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in import levels driven by changes in agricultural policies, evolving demand in plant-based diets, and potential trade developments. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for anticipating future fluctuations in the European soya import market.
