"With respect to previous years, there was no major increase in demand and prices are similar to those of other products in our range, especially since microgeens are harvested a little earlier than the rest and are a little shorter."
Altamoura exports microgreens especially to Community countries. "There is not a variety more in demand than others. Also, demand is not great on the domestic market as microgreens are a niche product. Only specialised stores have them." According to Fabio, these types of vegetables are definitely more popular abroad, even though they are not a mass product.
When asked if Italy has the potential to become a leader in the microgreen sector, Fabio says that "it is indeed a market we must keep an eye on. There is potential for growth."
