The harvested garlic production in Italy has shown fluctuating trends over the past 11 years. In 2023, the production was at 28.38 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year variations reveal a mix of increases and decreases, with notable declines in 2020 and 2022. Over the last two years, the production had a marginal gain of 1.83% in 2023 following a 2.76% decline in 2022.

The forecast from 2024 to 2028 projects a modest and stable garlic production, maintaining around 28.37 thousand metric tons with an insignificant forecasted five-year CAGR of -0.01%. This implies that no significant increase or decrease in production volume is expected.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on crop yields, innovations in agricultural practices, and shifts in market demand. Additionally, policy changes and trade agreements could influence production levels and export opportunities.
