Export growth continues for Italian agribusiness districts, according to the Monitor edited by Intesa Sanpaolo’s research and studies directorate that was recently released. Despite a difficult context, including rising energy costs, difficulties in sourcing raw materials, and problems in logistics, exports of Italy’s agri-food districts continued to grow at a fast pace in the first quarter of 2022.

After the all-time high in 2021 (22.6 billion euros, +9.2 percent compared to 2020), the first three months of 2022 recorded a further leap forward, with over six billion euros in exports, 811 million more than in the same period of 2021 (+15.4 percent) and over 1.2 billion more than in the same period of 2019.
