This has led to a diverse range of milk products in the market, catering to the different tastes and preferences of the consumers. The Italian government has also implemented strict regulations to ensure the safety and quality of milk products, further boosting consumer confidence.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Italy has been facing economic challenges in recent years, with slow GDP growth and high unemployment rates. However, the Milk market has remained resilient, driven by the strong demand for high-quality and authentic milk products. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the shift towards healthier and locally sourced food products, leading to a surge in demand for milk products. The Italian government has also provided support to the dairy industry through various initiatives, such as subsidies for small-scale dairy farmers and investment in research and development.
