The Ismea-Qualivita report analyses the most significant socio-economic dynamics affecting Italian PDO, PGI and TSG food and wine production systems.
What stands out: the research highlights the scale of the PDO economy, the strength of exports, the post-pandemic performance of food and wine certified products and the role of organised retail as a growth driver.
Why it matters: these certified production systems are central not only to agriculture and exports, but also to destination identity and to the development of food and wine tourism experiences.
The wider value: the report helps connect production data with tourism potential, making it especially relevant for destinations that build their positioning around quality-certified local products.
