The import of fresh or chilled whole trout to Italy is forecasted to increase steadily, from 1.6982 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.9078 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are approximately 3.18% between 2024 and 2025, 3.02% between 2025 and 2026, 2.88% between 2026 and 2027, and 2.74% between 2027 and 2028, indicating a gradual deceleration in the growth rate.
