Beijing – Agricultural and food products exports in China rose by 22% in 2015, exceeding for the first time the €400 million threshold in a year. This emerges from a Coldiretti analysis on ISTAT data for the first ten months of 2015. More and great prospects for growth – explains Coldiretti – stem from the Phytosanitary Requirements Protocol for the export of Italian citrus and the Memorandum of Understanding concerning the quality of olive oil signed in Beijing by the Minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin with the Ministry of Agriculture. The most exported Italian product to China – continues Coldiretti – is wine, but olive oil, fruit and vegetables are areas with great potential, hampered by customs and phytosanitary barriers that are now being removed, seizing the momentum generated by Expo.
