Sales increased by 11% in volume in the last month for Italian pasta, from 13.1 million kg per week in February to 14.6 million kg per week in the last 15 days in the retail channel, setting a record since the beginning of 2021.

Unione Italiana Food – the organization that brings together Italian pasta makers – confirms also for this year the trend that in 2020 brought 50 million more packages of pasta in the pantries of Italians. A year ago, the peaks of purchases were concentrated in March (+40%) and October-November (+10%), the hardest and most uncertain moments since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
