In 2023, Italy's import of crude rape, colza, or mustard oil stood at approximately 38 million kilograms. Forecasted data indicates a consistent decline in imports from 2024 to 2028, with the volume decreasing from 36.087 million kilograms in 2024 to 26.257 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year variation highlights an average annual decrease in imports of about 6% to 7%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reflects a negative trend, indicating a steady reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include changes in domestic production capacities, shifts in consumer demand towards alternative oils or substitutes, and potential changes in trade agreements or tariffs that could impact import levels. Additionally, monitoring the global supply chain disruptions may offer insights into future import fluctuations.
