The forecast for Italy’s import of crude cottonseed oil indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at US$21.12 thousand and dropping to US$10.58 thousand. This represents a significant year-on-year decrease of approximately 13% on average. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reflects a downward trend, largely driven by anticipated shifts in demand or alternative sourcing strategies.
