Italy agricultural labor legality monitoring

Overview

The INPS-managed Network of Quality Agricultural Labor in Italy has seen significant growth, with membership increasing from approximately 6,000 to over 13,000 companies in two years. The network serves as a voluntary registry for agricultural enterprises that comply with labor laws, social legislation, and tax obligations.

Officials have noted that the network has been strengthened by anti-caporalato legislation, which targets illegal labor intermediation. Registration is viewed as a ‘mark of reliability’ that helps companies demonstrate commitment to legality and workers’ rights.

To support these legal production models, INPS is enhancing labor monitoring through integrated database analysis and risk indicators. This strategy includes targeted programming to concentrate inspection resources on high-risk areas. In July 2026, a coordinated task force involving regional directorates and the Carabinieri conducted extraordinary inspections in parts of Southern Italy to identify potential irregularities.
