If the growth trend is maintained, Italian agri-food exports in the world will reach close to 60 billion in 2022, marking a real historical record although the effects of the conflict in Ukraine are worrying, with energy prices hitting production and consumption globally. This is what emerges from the analysis of Coldiretti based on ISTAT data on foreign trade relating to the first nine months of 2022, showing a jump of +18.6% for food despite the war unleashed by the Russians and international tensions on world trade in goods and services. Germany remains the main outlet market for food growing in January-September by 13%, compared to the United States rising by 21%, while France ranks third but shows a growth rate of 18%. Positive results also in the United Kingdom with a +19% that highlights the strength of Italian exports compared to Brexit, after the initial difficulties related to the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU. Double-digit jump also in Erdogan's Turkey (+27%) while it is negative in China with a decrease of 23% and in Russia with a -9% between sanctions and war. To drive the Made in Italy in the world there are basic products such as wine, which guides the ranking, followed by fresh fruit and vegetables.
