SHANGHAI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Agriculture is an industrial pillar of Italy, a country which uses 56 percent of its land for agriculture. The country is home to about 1.6 million farm-based businesses, many of which make agri-food products prized worldwide for their quality and craftsmanship. Italian agri-food companies see the eighth China International Import Expo (CIIE) as a key gateway to the world's second-largest consumer market, where they seek greater space for sales and partnerships.
