In March, the European Dairy Association (EDA) announced the appointment of Giuseppe Ambrosi as its new president. Ambrosi, the chief executive of speciality Italian cheese producer Ambrosi s.p.a., joined the EDA board in 2020, and is a longstanding chairperson of Italian EDA member Assolatte.
He comes into the role at a pivotal time for the dairy sector in Europe; having largely navigated the challenges of COVID-19, the sector is actively engaged with European lawmakers on certain aspects of the EU's Farm to Fork strategy, while also seeking to promote more added-value in the sector, embrace a growing plant-based movement, and offset price volatility.
ESM spoke to Ambrosi about the future outlook for the dairy sector in Europe.
