The forecast for the import of live pure-bred breeding swine to Italy from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline. Starting at 17.95 thousand in 2024 and decreasing steadily to 15.94 thousand by 2028, the year-on-year decline ranges between approximately 2.9% and 3.0%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a negative trend, likely around -2.8% annually. The data from 2023 is necessary to further compare with past levels but is unfortunately unavailable here.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in breeding technology, trade agreements affecting livestock import tariffs, and shifts in Italy's domestic breeding capabilities. Economic conditions and consumer demand for pork products could also impact import levels.
