  "account": "The Italian-Ecuadorian collaboration has opened up a new market for Italian pear exports to Ecuador, as confirmed by the publication of the Work Plan by the Ecuadorian phytosanitary authority Agrocalidad. The agreement, finalized in 2025 after negotiations starting in 2021, was validated through a visit of Ecuadorian inspectors organized by the Centro servizi ortofrutticoli (CSO Italy) in Italy. The Ecuadorian government sees this as an opportunity to diversify markets and address geopolitical challenges, while the shorter transit times are another favorable factor. To implement the plan, interested companies must verify compliance with the protocol's requirements and prepare lists of the relevant establishments and fruit orchards. Cso Italy will gather and process these lists, which will then be sent to the Ecuadorian authorities for approval, enabling the commencement of exports as soon as possible. The Italian Ministry of Agriculture, recognizing the significance of this new commercial opportunity, commented that Ecuador represents a strategic market in the South American region for Italian pears. These pears are among the historic pillars of the national agri-food sector, and this commercial outlet opens up important prospects. After years of difficulties caused by climate changes and attacks of serious plant diseases on the crops, the pear production sector is witnessing new signs of recovery, thanks to the support of the Ministry that has worked on opening new commercial opportunities. The excellence of Italian products is appreciated worldwide, and the State is working to facilitate production and create conditions for more people around the world to purchase them. This achievement is the result of the commitment and collaboration between the Ministry, the Regions, and the productive sector.",
