A delegation of traders met with local counterparts from the United States and Canada, two of the most interesting markets for cheese exports. The US, in fact, already ranks third (after Germany and France) on the list of Reggio Emilia food exports, with €620 million in value, and particularly relevant growth forecasts. The data for the past four years are explicit: from 2011 to 2014, Reggio exports rose in double-digit percentages, closing 2014 with a + 14.1%. There’s a similar scenario for Canada, which ranks twenty-first for Reggio chees exports.
