Not everyone knows how to run a short supply chain The sales results of our consortium have been very rewarding, with a new milestone of € 12.5 million and an increase of over 16% compared to 2020, said Antonio Fricano, president and member of the BIA Consortium, who is also a producer of Sicilian lemons and early potatoes, with a company located in the area of Bagheria (PA).

In March and April 2020, in the middle of the lockdown, we achieved a turnover increase of more than 30% compared to the same period last year, of which 15% was attributable to the pandemic, and 15% to new customers, bearing in mind that the total annual result of the pandemic effect certainly does not exceed 3-4%.
