Green light for the arrival in Italy of 82,550 non-EU seasonal workers. Nearly one-third of Made in Italy food is produced in the fields and stables by migrants who have found regular employment in agriculture, providing as much as 32 percent of the total work days needed by the sector in 2022. The largest community of non-EU agricultural workers in Italy is Indians, followed by Moroccans, who precede Albanians, Senegalese, Pakistanis, Tunisians, Nigerians and Macedonians. "Not only are we going from 42,000 units of seasonal labor to 82,000 in 2023 to 90,000 in 2025," says Coldiretti President Ettore Prandini, "but now the quotas reserved for agricultural associations for their members are going from 22,000 last year to 40,000 this year”.
