Earlier Report Observations

After a decline in 2019, Italy's fresh beans market grew in 2020 as COVID-19 increased demand for fresh produce and companies intensified mergers and new product launches.

Market volume continued to rise in 2021, supported by a global shift toward healthy, plant-based foods, though short shelf life and underinvestment in processing limited potential. A dip in physical volume followed in 2022, while expanding online sales channels and strong consumer preference for fresh, organic beans helped sustain market value.

The market recovered to 170 thousand tons by 2023, and by 2024 chilled online delivery and pronounced seasonality had become entrenched features of the distribution system.
