The forecasted import of oil-cake and other solid residues of vegetable fats or oils to Italy shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 2.4969 to 2.4052 billion kilograms. Compared to the base year of 2023, there is a consistent downtrend, with a year-on-year decrease averaging around 1% to 2%. This suggests a moderate contraction in import volumes over these years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in Italy's domestic policy towards renewable energy sources which could impact demand.
Global supply chain disruptions and changes in trade agreements that could alter import volumes.
Adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that might reduce dependency on imported residues.
