Italian dairy and agro-food sector developments

Overview

Lactalis Italia has initiated several programs to support the Italian dairy and agro-food sectors. The company launched a community engagement program in Milan focused on sustainability, social solidarity, and the promotion of ‘Made in Italy’ products. Concurrently, industry players like Compral Latte have emphasized integrated production models and scientific research to meet consumer demands within the Piedmont region.

Building on these efforts, Lactalis hosted a summit in Milan to discuss the economic significance of Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) products. The summit addressed global competitiveness, rising production costs, and the threat of ‘Italian sounding’ imitations. During the event, it was noted that the DOP system supports approximately 200,000 companies and 900,000 jobs, with a production value of nearly 22 billion euros. To support local excellence, Lactalis announced plans to invest over 40 million euros in Italy.
