There is something a careful traveler would not miss: in every corner of the planet, it seems Italian food is considered a byword for quality and taste. Nomisma’s forecast of Italy’s agri-food exports for 2017 seems to confirm this trend: a 6% growth compared to 2016.
This figure has also been confirmed by the Foreign Trade Institute, which recorded a 5.8% increase in the first six months of 2017 for the food & wine sector. Indeed, Italian food is increasingly appreciated even in countries with eating habits that share very little with the Mediterranean cuisine.
