The significance of this sector is not merely economic, even if the agri-food sector is an important item of GDP and it has always a positive mark in export. As a matter of fact, the agri-food sector has both a social and an environmental impact. In this regard, the valorisation of Italian agri food productions, the so- called Made-in-Italy Agri-Food, assumes a crucial importance. The extra virgin olive oil is one of the products that most personify the image of the Made-in-Italy Agri-Food. Notwithstanding a lot of people think at the Italian virgin olive oil like a one and definite product, it is a product having hundreds of chemical and sensory shades.

  • Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014
    Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014 Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014 PAGE 1 Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014 Introduction Through the publication of the Economic Survey of North Sardinia, the Chamber of Commerce of Sassari aims to provide each year an updated and detailed study concerning social and economic aspects in the provinces of Sassari and Olbia-Tempio and, more generally, in Sardinia . This survey is addressed to all the entrepreneurs and institutions interested in the local economy and in the potential opportunities offered by national and foreign trade. Indeed, this analysis takes into account the essential aspects of the entrepreneurial activity (business dynamics, agriculture and agro-industry, foreign trade, credit, national accounts, manufacturing and services, etc…). Moreover, the analysis of the local economy, compared with regional and national trends, allows to reflect on the future prospects of the territory and to set up development projects. This 16th edition of the Survey is further enriched with comments and a glossary, intended to be a “guide” to the statistical information. In data-processing, sources from the Chamber Internal System – especially the Business Register – have been integrated with data provided by public institutions and trade associations. The Chamber of Commerce wishes to thank them all for their collaboration. In the last years, the Chamber of North Sardinia has been editing and spreading a version of the Survey in English, in order to reach all the main world trade operators. International operators willing to invest in this area are thus supported by this Chamber through this deep analysis of the local economy.

  • Subbuteo, Sardinia & Wine
    Torneo Internazionale Satellite “Subbuteo, Sardinia & Wine” 19 / 20 Luglio 2014 – Valledoria (Sassari) – Subbuteo Team Sassari –www.subbuteoteamsassari.it 1 in collaborazione con e le Subbuteo Team Sassari, Sardinia RE and Cantine Santa Rita, are glad to invite you in Valledoria, just few miles from Sassari, for the 1st When you find words as “Summer” and “Sardinia” in the same sentence, it's inevitable thinking about sea, sun and fun. In just a word: holiday! Starting from this idea, Subbuteo Team Sassari want to share with our friends subbuteo players all that our land can offer on July, organizing a tournament that will be as more attractive as possible, inviting you for a real holiday where you can play your favourite sport. Tournament's name, “Sardinia, Subbuteo & Wine”, contains all the elements that will charaterize it. Being Sardinia known as synonymous of sun and sea, we chose as a location one of the most famous and valued area of the Gulf of Asinara. Valledoria territory is placed in a very good position, just few minutes from the wide beaches of Badesi, the tipycal and beautiful village of Castelsardo and from the wonderful place of Isola Torneo Internazionale Satellite “Subbuteo, Sardinia & Wine” 19 / 20 Luglio 2014 – Valledoria (Sassari) – Subbuteo Team Sassari –www.subbuteoteamsassari.it 2 Rossa. Surroundings offer a lot of natural and cultural attractions, such as the typical “roccia dell’elefante”, the Coghinas river, really close to the Casteldoria thermal baths, and many ancient buildings known as “nuraghes”. Sardinia is even famous for its huge offer of food and wine, so we chose a modern wine cellar as a location for the tournament.

  • Olbia & Surroundings
    OLBIA & SURROUNDINGS Olbia has 40’000 inhabitants; through its harbour „ Isola Bianca “ and the airport „ Costa Smeralda “ many international routes. The economy is based on fishing, breeding of mussels and food- industry, as tuna-processing. Olbia is also called the “shopping centre of Gallura ”, which is the name of the North-Eastern part of Sardinia. In most cases Olbia is only the arrival and departure point for a holiday in Northern Sardinia. But this town has some nice things to visit, for example C orso Umberto I . In this street, which leads from the harbour to Piazza Margherita, there are several boutiques and shops. In the Piazza, the heart of Olbia, cafés and ice-cream shops are a nice place to have a break. Not far from Olbia there are the beach areas of Pittulongu, Capo Ceraso and Porto Istana. Here visitors can find beautiful beaches and enjoy the marvellous view of the majestic “ island of Tavolara ”, a huge granite rock mountain that stands out 600m over the sea level. Golfo Aranci A long time ago Golfo Aranci was only a small fishermen village. When in the 60s the harbour for ferry boats was built, this place started developing very quickly. Several ferry boat companies (for both goods and passengers-transportation) have their own docks in the harbour of Golfo Aranci. Nowadays, despite other places which seem uninhabited during winter, in Golfo Aranci live about 2’000 people throughout the year. Some of them are fishermen and can be watched while repairing their nets in the harbour. From C apo Figari visitors can enjoy a beautiful view on the Gulf of Olbia and the “island” Tavolara .
