in the Sectors.

Sofia, Bulgaria – 14 November 2013

- Italian National Institute for Statistics in its 6th census 2010 on all Agricoltural Sector counted approx. 1,6 mln businesses

- the half are officially registered enterprises (approx. 800.000) of which:

only 42.327 (5%) > 6 employees

2.361 limited company revenues > € 5 mln

(Source: Italian Chamber of Commerce)

They are mostly family-run business.No Medium ones…

Italian scenario

- Structural data imply a strong dependence on banking and its traditional credit system and today…

- credit crunch - forecast is no good

Furthermore SME are:- not elegibles for Equity and Bond market- neither for new «shadow banking» alternatives

All that means even more weakness for the Agricoltural sector in the absence of UE grants as well as any other kind of national public funding as guarantees or tax breaks.

Financial needs
