Congress final programme
Congress proceedings
SANA – international exhibition of organic and natural products in Bologna – is one of the marketplaces and platforms in Italy for sharing ideas about the main topics of the field.
The 2014 show hosted a few presentations on the Italian market and consumer’s behaviours, among others the 2 surveys commissioned by Cosmetica Italia on natural cosmetics and herbalist produce consumption. Moreover the SANA Observatory 2014 survey, carried out by Nomisma for BolognaFiere and illustrated during the conference “All the Figures of Organic Made‐in Italy” on Saturday 6 September, shows a growth for the third year running in the penetration in Italy of organic‐brand foods. The percentage of consumers purchasing at least one organic product over the last twelve months rose
in 2014 to 59% of all consumers, a net 4.5% increase compared to the 54.5% of 2013, and a 5.8% increase on the 2012 figure of 53.2%. Of those who declared they had purchased at least one organic brand product, 37% said they consumed organic products at least once a week, while some 22% declaring they did so every day.
