The Italian livestock supply chain to the test of current market and agricultural policy scenarios

Round table at the Assocarni Annual Meeting

20, Sep 2024

"The Italian breeding model is made of balance in terms of animal welfare, environmental sustainability, circular economy and protection of a territory with a unique holographic conformation, the country is characterized by a hilly territory (equal to 41%), followed by mountains (35%) and plains (23%) and with 8300 km of coastline and, for this reason, it seems absurd to subject our livestock farming to the same rules as European countries that do not have the same environmental conditions. Despite this, the Italian breeding model is one of the sectors most penalized by an ideological approach that has nothing to do with reality, with numbers, with the data of a sector that operates in our country with a highly distinctive model and that today we want to claim with pride. We need to support those who live in the countryside every day with animals, shepherds, those who raise suckler cows and sheep, also to favor a generational transition that can only happen if this work, not easy, is adequately remunerated. Serafino Cremonini, President of Assocarni, spoke at the Annual Assembly “The Italian livestock supply chain tested by current market and agricultural policy scenarios”.

The event, organized yesterday in Rome at the cinema hall of the prestigious Harry's Bar Trevi by Assocarni with the unconditional contribution of MSD Animal Health, started from a study presented by ISMEA that outlined an economic picture of lights and shadows of the Italian bovine and sheep sector that highlights the need to intervene to secure national production (the Italian self-sufficiency rate has dropped dramatically to 40% compared to 58% in 2010 - ISMEA data), while a Nielsen survey on domestic meat purchases in our country shows that 92% of Italian consumers regularly buy beef with particular attention to meat produced in our country.
