In 2023, the sunflowerseed oil export volume in Italy stood at a level indicating stability. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 suggest a stable trend, with volumes remaining at 39.0 thousand metric tons from 2024 to 2026, before a slight decline to 38.0 thousand metric tons from 2027 onwards.

- Impact of economic conditions on production costs and competitiveness in the international market.
- Domestic agricultural policies and their effect on production capacity.
