In 2023, Italy imported dried shelled broad beans and horse beans valued at approximately 10 million US Dollars. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady decline in imports with values dropping from 9.51 million to 6.99 million US Dollars, representing an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -6.25% over five years. Annual year-on-year declines of around -6.82% signal a consistent downtrend in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Possible shifts in domestic production that may further reduce dependency on imports.
- Potential changes in consumption patterns due to dietary trends or economic factors in Italy.
- Trade policy adjustments that may affect import duties or tariffs, influencing the overall import dynamics.
