This is the \u201cone step back, one step forward\u201d principle: one step back and one step forward along the supply chain. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is no longer just a technical issue: in international markets, it is a <strong>key factor in building credibility<\/strong>. Importers, distributors, and retailers are increasingly demanding detailed documentation on origin, lots, ingredients, certifications, production facilities, quality controls, and applicable standards. In this sense, labels, technical data sheets, commercial documentation, and digital tools\u2014such as QR codes or supply chain platforms\u2014become part of the same information system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-right:5px;margin-left:5px\">\u201cMade in Italy\u201d food is associated with quality, tradition, specialized production, and regional identity. Precisely for this reason, however, it must be protected and communicated with precision: \u201cItalian origin,\u201d PDO, PGI, DE.CO, and \u201c100% Italian\u201d have value only when they can be documented. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:5px\">Certified products also enhance the value of Italian food around the world. The 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualivita.it\/rapporto-ismea-qualivita-2025\/\">ISMEA-Qualivita Report on PDO, PGI, and TSG products<\/a> confirms the strategic role of geographical indications in positioning the Italian agri-food sector. In 2024, exports of PDO and PGI products reached 12.3 billion euros, an increase of 8.2%. For foreign markets, certifications of origin are not merely a distinguishing mark: they represent a guarantee of authenticity, quality control, and a connection to the local territory.

According to CREA, in 2024 the U.S. became the second-largest destination market for Italian agri-food products after Germany, surpassing France, accounting for 11.5% of total agri-food exports. This figure is particularly significant because it pertains to a highly competitive market, where consumers recognize the value of Italian products, but where regulatory compliance, clear labeling,
