The most recent data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce confirm the positive trend of Italian agri-food exports to the U.S., which, in the first 8 months of 2022, increased by 13.1% compared to the same period last year, reaching $4.95 billion. “In 2021, our sales recorded $6.5 billion for the food & wine sector alone”, reports Antonino Laspina, Director of ITA Agency in New York and Coordinator of the U.S. network.

The ITA Office in NY has implemented a series of projects aimed at American restaurants with the goal of pushing promotional action and raising awareness and use of authentic Italian products and cooking techniques.
