Yet another historical record for the Made in Italy food in the world, with exports recording an increase of 4% over the same period last year. This is what emerges from an analysis by Coldiretti on Istat data about foreign trade in the first four months of 2018. An excellent result in the Year of Italian Food in the World, which confirms the potential of Made in Italyproducts for the economic recovery of the whole country.

Almost two thirds of Italian food exports concern the countries of the European Union but relations with the United States, which is by far the main market for Italian food outside the Union’s borders, are affected by the tug of war over trade tariffs between Trump and the rest of the world.
