Confagricoltura Parma

What Confagricoltura Parma does

Confagricoltura Parma is a provincial agricultural employers' association established in 1945 and headquartered at Via Magani 6 in San Pancrazio, Parma, Italy. It operates as the Parma branch of the regional federation Confagricoltura Emilia Romagna, which collectively represents approximately 15,000 members and 40% of the regional agricultural surface area across the territory from Piacenza to Rimini. The association serves farmers and agricultural enterprises engaged in viticulture, livestock, dairy, cereals, and fruit/vegetable production, providing representation, advocacy, administrative assistance, technical consulting, and access to EU and national agricultural subsidies and funding mechanisms.

The organization delivers its services through a network of six zonal offices covering the Parma province (Borgotaro-Bedonia, Busseto, Fidenza, Colorno-San Secondo, Fornovo Taro, and Langhirano-Traversetolo) and an ecosystem of affiliated entities: CAA Confagricoltura for technical and administrative assistance, ENAPA for social-security patronage, ANGA for young agricultural entrepreneurs, Confagricoltura Donna for women-led agricultural enterprises, Agriturist for agritourism, and ANPA for retired farmers. The association publishes the bi-monthly Gazzettino Agricolo newsletter and operates the ConfagriApp mobile application on iOS and Android.

Revenue is generated through membership fees and service charges on a subscription-recurring basis, though specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is conducted through direct field engagement with member enterprises and through the Zucchetti Myinfinity member portal. The organization engages in active policy advocacy on issues including the EU Common Agricultural Policy (PAC) 2023-2027 and 2026 advance payments, and it coordinates crisis-response engagement with regional authorities following weather-related agricultural damage.
