Liguria is a strait crescent embracing the Gulf of Genoa, surrounded by forest-covered mountains and the sea, with cliffs sprinkled with picturesque towns and terraces. It is a terrain abounding in aromas and colours, from the soft green of the famous basil, to the infinite nuances and fragrances of the floricultural crops.

It is the land of gourmand flavours, such as the exquisite extra virgin olive oils and preserves, as well as refined products, like wines and pastries. Despite the few cultivated areas, the agricultural sector is lively. Exports are a significant reward for it. In 2016, the trend for this segment was +4%, with 360 million euro of exported goods.
