Since our humble beginnings in 1996, we have strived tirelessly to champion the interests of our farmers, producers and Agro Industrial ecosystem, cultivating a community of strength, resilience, and unity. Today, I stand before you with immense pride as we reflect on our journey—a journey marked by growth, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to our shared goals.

From the South to the North, our association has flourished, nurturing 72 vibrant subgroups led by dedicated regional presidents and supported by their esteemed members. Each subgroup represents not only a bastion of agricultural expertise but also a testament to the rich tapestry of traditions, cultures, and innovations that define our industry.

Yet, as we gather here today, we stand at a pivotal moment in our association's history. With over 110,000 members, including more than 70,000 trusted companies, we have become a formidable force in the agroindustrial landscape, ranking proudly as one the largest association in Italy among the most active in the international defense and promotion of Made in Italy. Actions, not words but our journey is far from over.

As we look to the future, we are poised to embark on a new chapter—one that embraces the fusion of old traditions with cutting-edge technology, empowering and elevating our members to new heights of success. Our vision is clear: to harness the power of innovation to enhance the prosperity and well-being of every member of our association.

With the support of our esteemed members, the dedication of our regional presidents, and the unwavering commitment of our leadership team, we are poised to ascend to new heights of excellence. Together, we will build upon our foundation of strength and solidarity, driving our association forward with passion, purpose, and determination.

As we chart our course for the future, let us seize this moment as an opportunity to reaffirm our collective commitment to our shared mission. Let us embrace change with open arms, recognizing it as the catalyst for growth and progress. And let us stand united, bound by our common purpose and unwavering belief in the power of collaboration and community.
