ANVE
ANVE – Associazione Nazionale Vivaisti Esportatori (National Nurserystock Exporters Association), is the national association of nurserystock companies operating at Italian and international level. ANVE, aware of the strategic importance of exporting, is not only directed to Nurserystock Exporters, but operates to protect the interests of all Italian nurserymen. ANVE offers support and protection services to nurserymen and is an efficient representative instrument of Italian nurserygardening companies for dialogue with institutions. The association was established thanks to the operators of the sector interested in having access to more specific information and aimed at their activity and participate in sector consultancy roundtables, both in Europe and out of EU boundaries.
ANVE is made up of a solid national and international network. Companies, researchers, university professors, consultants, suppliers, administrations, representative organizations, journalists and many other stakeholders have chosen to collaborate with us and make the sector grow.
Full members and Partners join ANVE. This approach ensures maximum national representation through direct engagement with local entities. ANVE is composed of the General Members Meeting, Board of Directors that includes the Chairman and Councillors, all coming from the main Italian nurserystock regions, and Board of Auditors. Association activities are carried out with the support of the General Secretariat, which also coordinates communication and marketing.
ANVE collaborates with the main Italian administrations and participates in ministerial roundtables to contribute to the improvement of the sector policies. Specifically, it is a member of the Technical Roundtable for the nursery sector established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Forests.
