Agricultural co-operatives' profits double
From 2008 to date, production value from 472 to 900 million. Social wine cellars drive growth
The economic crisis in the Marca has also led to a real exploit by agricultural cooperatives, which have doubled the value of their production in the last ten years. The lion's share is obviously in the wine sector, but the dairy and fruit and vegetable sectors are also showing positive signs.
The data come from a study by Confcooperative Belluno and Treviso, directed by sociologists Daniele Marini and Davide Girardi and with the economic contribution of the Belluno and Treviso Chamber of Commerce. Agricultural cooperatives in the two provinces have doubled the value of their production, rising from €472 million in 2008 to around €900 million in 2017.
