Supermarkets

A great challenge for all of Europe: this is the "Farm to Fork" strategy, the heart of the new Green Deal, "green path" to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050. The goal for organic farming is to cover, at least, 25% of the UAA. A context where Italy is not only already doing its part, but where the reputation of our country for the quality of the products and the seriousness of the controls is already very high at European level, as the data relating to our organic sector in 2019 show.

The emergency that Italy is facing has accelerated the affirmation of some phenomena showing interesting prospects already before the pandemic. It is the case for the online sale of agri-food products. For reasons of force majeure, millions of Italians have found a valuable ally on the web not to leave the house and avoid the queue at supermarkets. Many distributors and organic product holdings have been experimenting with alternative forms of retail for some time, and many others have started for the first time on this occasion.
