Abstract
Apulia is the third agricultural region in Italy and, by far, the most important southern region, producing more than 40% of the agricultural value-added of this part of the country. The concentration in the region of different agricultural productions, especially those that are typically Mediterranean like olives, grapes, durum wheat, vegetables, representing an easy and reliable source of supply, allowed the birth and the development of several processing industries. In an economy not yet highly industrialized, such as the Apulian one, this aspect assumes a great relevance as some recent studies help to show. It has been estimated that the whole agro-food system produces more than the 16% of the regional income (Ipres, 1991) while it weights for a little more than 10% for northern regions (Galizzi and Boccaletti, 1993).
