Analyzing mushrooms production in Italy from 2013 to 2023 reveals fluctuations and a relative stabilization in recent years. The production reached a peak in 2013 with 98.8 Thousand Metric Tons and dipped substantially in 2014 by 22.17%. The production then experienced modest growth and occasional drops, eventually stabilizing around 89-90 Thousand Metric Tons from 2018 onwards. In 2023, the production stood at 89.8 Thousand Metric Tons, indicating minimal change and suggesting a stable production environment. The year-on-year variation from 2021 to 2022 was -0.11%, and similarly, it was -0.11% from 2022 to 2023. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years was -0.24%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The forecasted decline, albeit slight, should be monitored as the average annual reduction of production is anticipated to be around -0.04% for the next five years.
- Innovation in cultivation techniques and potential policy changes could impact future production levels.
- Global market demand and export opportunities may also influence Italy's mushroom production trends during the forecast period.
