In 2023, Italy's fresh pulses harvested production was estimated at 273.51 thousand metric tons. A slight decline is projected over the next five years, with values expected to decrease from 273.01 in 2024 to 271.3 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a year-on-year decline, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period from 2024 to 2028 is negative.
Future trends to watch for in Italy's fresh pulses production include:
- Climate change impacts on agricultural yields.
- Evolving consumer preferences for plant-based and sustainable products.
- Technological advances in farming practices that may improve efficiency.
