The Consortium for the protection of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese chose the Cibus 2022 showcase to present its economic data for the first quarter of 2022. After a record-breaking 2021, with a consumer turnover of 2.7 billion euros, total volume sales in the first quarter of 2022 grew further, by +3.6% (equal to 33,341 tons). This excellent result was primarily due to performance in international markets, where growth was up 6.9%.

The estimates made at the end of 2021 are therefore consolidated, albeit with some unknown factors linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the effects on inflation and the reduction of household purchasing power in some markets.
