Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Agroalimentare

The Italian term for the agri-food sector, covering everything from primary agricultural production through processing to food and beverage products sold to consumers. It is the umbrella word used by Italian organisers, trade bodies and regional government when describing fairs such as Agrogepaciok.

2

Filiera

The Italian word for a supply chain or production chain, used in agri-food to describe the linked stages from farm to processing to distribution and retail. Exhibitors and buyers at Puglia agri-food fairs frequently organise conversations around a specific filiera, for example the olive oil or the dairy chain.

3

DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta)

An EU protected designation of origin label granted to food and drink whose production, processing and preparation all happen in a defined geographic area. Puglia holds DOP status for products such as several extra virgin olive oils, and the label is a standard reference point in southern Italian food trade.

4

IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta)

An EU protected geographical indication, a step less strict than DOP, requiring at least one stage of production to take place in the named area. IGP labels appear across Puglia on produce and processed foods, and buyers at regional fairs often use DOP and IGP status to filter suppliers.

5

GDO (Grande Distribuzione Organizzata)

The Italian term for organised large-scale retail, meaning supermarket chains, hypermarkets and their central buying offices. GDO buyers are a distinct visitor group at Italian agri-food fairs because listing decisions are made centrally rather than store by store.

6

Meccanizzazione agricola

Agricultural mechanisation: tractors, implements, harvesting equipment, irrigation systems and the machinery dealers and workshops that support them. For a Puglia fair, this term signals the equipment side of the show rather than the food side.

7

Agricoltura di precisione

Precision agriculture: sensor, satellite guidance, variable-rate application and farm data tools used to reduce inputs and improve yields. It is an increasingly common theme at southern Italian agricultural events, particularly for olive groves and vineyards.

8

Xylella fastidiosa

A bacterial plant pathogen that has severely affected olive groves in the Salento area of Puglia, driving replanting, resistant varieties and monitoring programmes. It is a defining technical and policy topic for growers in this part of Italy.

9

Olivicoltura

Olive growing, including grove management, harvesting methods and milling into extra virgin olive oil. Puglia is one of Italy's largest olive oil regions, so olive production and oil quality are core themes for Lecce-area agri-food business.

10

PAC (Politica Agricola Comune)

The EU Common Agricultural Policy, which sets direct payments, rural development funding and environmental conditions for European farms. CAP rules shape what Puglia growers can invest in, so funding and compliance questions recur at regional agricultural fairs.

11

Salento

The southern peninsula of Puglia, centred on Lecce, known for olive groves, vineyards, vegetable production and coastal tourism. Referencing the Salento signals the geographic catchment of growers, processors and buyers served by the LecceFiere fairground.

12

LecceFiere

The exhibition and congress centre in Lecce used for regional trade fairs, located away from the historic centre and reachable by city bus or taxi. It is the venue district referenced in hotel and transport searches for this event.
