Spaghetti and Mandolin, we are in good company.

Every year there is a database of Organic products in Italy that is responsible for directly surveying many thousands of operators and then compiling the usual BIOBANK report.

As we have mentioned several times in our newsletter, organic products are no longer just a challenge but a trend and a necessity. In fact, the report shows an unstoppable growth of all the structures that produce Organic and those that market or use it in their business.

Spaghetti & Mandolino has, from the beginning, sought to give ample space to this world that for too many years has been looked down upon, then for a few years seemed to shift towards a fashion trend, and today, in the digital – techno – allergic – intolerant era, the desire for naturalness and health awareness has been rekindled. And thank goodness for that!

The data is very interesting and unequivocal. Organic Restaurants have increased by 68%, and let's also include bars, bistros, pizzerias, cafeterias, temporary food, etc. Then, we also fall into this category, in second place for growth, the e-commerce sites for organic foods, with a 58% increase. We have gone from 152 e-commerce sites in 2010 to 241 today. A nice company!

A significant leap that gives hope and demonstrates that the culture of Italian food is growing is the increase in fully organic school canteens, which are up by 43%, from 872 in 2010 to 1249 today. Purchasing groups are increasing by 20%, direct sales companies are also up by 20%. Organic agritourisms are growing by 19% and organic shops by 16%.

The only data that shows no growth are the organic markets, which remain steady at 221 in Italy. The regions that show, in absolute numbers, the greatest growth in activities are Tuscany, Emilia – Romagna, and Lombardy.
