Agricultural industry in Italy - statistics & facts
Although Italy was traditionally an agricultural country until the Second World War, the country transitioned towards a more industrialized landscape in the subsequent years, leading to a decline in its agricultural sector. This shift is evident as in the past decade, the agricultural value added accounted for only approximately two percent of the total GDP. Nevertheless, agriculture remains a noteworthy and expanding industry in Italy, with an added value of around 43.7 billion U.S. dollars.
