Throughout 2023, the Italian horticulture sector exhibited notable resilience and adaptability, leveraging the increasing awareness of climate change and the momentum toward a green cultural revolution. The attained results signify that the pandemic acted as a catalyst, fostering heightened societal sensitivity toward the sector’s productions and establishing a robust foundation for approaching the future with optimism. On the associative front, active participation in prominent trade events such as “Myplant & Garden” in Milan and “Flormart – The Green Italy” in Padua, coupled with the success of the “XV National Day of Mediterranean Horticulture,” ANVE’s annual event, significantly elevated our visibility. Our proactive international presence, with a special mention to the collaboration with ITA – Italian Trade Agency – supporting promotion, incoming development and training of future generations, again through ENA, emphasizing the pivotal role for the horticulture sector in shaping new professional figures. Domestically, we have fortified and expanded our partnerships with sector associations, underscoring our firm belief in collaboration and the imperative of information exchange across the diverse horticulture supply chain. Finally, we wanted to review and enrich the conventions offered to our members. This includes a heightened emphasis on quality certifications to distinguish our companies in the increasingly complex competitive scenario. I would like to highlight the role played by our secretariat, significantly contributing to the construction of a collaborative environment and the efficient management of associative activities. The prompt responsiveness to member requests has strengthened the connection between the Association and its membership base, fostering an atmosphere of trust and mutual support. Looking forward to 2024, despite global political and economic uncertainties, I am confident that the sector will approach the year with optimism and determination, well-prepared to confront challenges with the same resilience demonstrated in the past.
