Climate change negatively impacts the Italian agricultural sector, reducing value added by -2.5% in 2023. Wine production plummeted by -17.4% and fruit production by -11.2%, while the floriculture and olive oil sectors recorded declines of -3.9% and -3%, respectively. However, some crops, such as industrial crops (+10.2%) and cereals (+6.6%), had a favorable year. This is the finding of the Tagliacarne Institute report. The report, produced in collaboration with Unioncamere, shows how Agrifood continues to be a pillar of the Italian economy: the entire supply chain accounts for 27% of the turnover of national companies, with a share that rises to 29% in the South, despite the apparent containment of the sector's economic weight (4.2% of total added value, with 2.2% for agriculture and 2.0% for food). Over the past 40 years, there has been a significant reduction in the number of agricultural enterprises (-66%), a phenomenon that has accelerated over the past two decades due to the difficulty in maintaining the economic viability of small farms. However, there has been a 15.1% increase in corporations in the agricultural sector, a sign of transformation and professionalization of the sector. 64.5% invested in improving the technical and professional skills of their staff, while 44.9% focused on new skills, confirming the importance of training to meet the challenges of the future. The survey forecasts turnover growth for the agribusiness sector in the South of Italy in 2024-2025. About 40% of companies expect an increase by 2025, with an increased focus on digitization, advanced technologies and environmental responsibility.
