The agreement aims to bridge the infrastructural deficit that is penalising the Italian economy and the agri-food sector, enhancing the quality of Made in Italy on global markets..
Will be held Monday 20 July 2026, at 5:00 PM, in the evocative setting of the Dantès, Marseille Skylounge, the ceremony for the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding for International Cooperation on Integrated Logistics.
The strategic agreement will feature AcliTerra e Feather
“Logistics is no longer a simple transport service, but a strategic factor of competitiveness for the entire Italian production system,” he declared Davide Falteri, “With this Protocol, we want to build a stable bridge between the world of logistics and that of agriculture, so that the quality of Made in Italy is accompanied by an efficient, sustainable, and international supply chain. Investing in infrastructure, digitalisation, and connections means creating value for businesses, ensuring better remuneration for producers, and strengthening the presence of our excellences on global markets. Federlogistica is proud to contribute to this collaborative path with AcliTerra, firmly believing that only by working together can we face the major challenges of international competitiveness.”.
“We too are deeply proud of this strategic collaboration with Federlogistica,” he added. Nicola Tavoletta, National President of Acli Terra. “This agreement offers concrete answers and targeted solutions to all companies in the agri-food sector, particularly to those registered that are assisted by Caa Acli. Thanks to this understanding, businesses will be able to access services at controlled and moderated prices. This is a valuable synergy, born from highly representative organisations, capable of concretely improving the daily lives of companies through decidedly improved economic and technical solutions.
The figures from a sector vital to the country
The logistics sector continues to be one of the driving forces of the Italian economy. The supply chain today moves over 1,200 million tonnes of goods, boasts a national value of 94.3 billion euros and records a turnover in the “contract manufacturing” sector exceeding 120 billion. Overall, this sector employs well 1.4 million workers, maintains a constant annual growth rate of 3,63% and comes to affect for the 9% as a percentage of GDP of the country.
Overcoming the infrastructure deficit to protect quality
Despite its importance, integrated logistics still represents a historical deficit for many areas of the Peninsula, with heavy negative repercussions on the general economy and, in particular, on the agri-food sector.
The historical infrastructure shortcomings directly impact key sectors such as agriculture and fishing, resulting in significant economic losses that hinder fair and dignified remuneration for producers. In fact, current logistical parameters often tend to favour quantity over the quality of products. This latter aspect, however, constitutes the true distinctive feature and added value of Italian exports worldwide.
The signing of the Protocol in Marseille intends to draw a line of discontinuity, laying the foundations for a modern and efficient logistics system, capable of supporting businesses and protecting the manufacturing excellence of Made in Italy in the global competitive scenario.
