The performance of Italian organic food exports is very positive. Sales in international markets reached 3.4 billion euros in the first six months of 2022, growing by +16% compared to the same period in 2021. The recognition of Italian organic food on international markets is also witnessed by the long-term growth (+181% compared to 2012, a value that has almost tripled) and by the export share on the Made in Italy basket.

In the first half of 2022, the export share weighs 6%, compared to 4% ten years ago. These data emerged from the recent analysis conducted as part of ITA.BIO, the online platform for the internationalization of Made in Italy organic products. The analysis, officially presented at the opening of the ongoing SANA 2022 trade show in Bologna, consisted of a survey of 290 Italian food and wine companies.
