In the 2022/2023 period, the Italian exports performance in the tomato-based products sector was lower than the previous marketing year: 742,400 metric tons of pastes, 1.438 million tons of canned tomatoes, and 179,400 tons of ketchup and tomato sauces were sold over the last marketing year, according to Trade Data Monitor figures.

The decline in sales has impacted all product categories, but it should be considered within the context of remarkable increases seen in recent years.
