Italy's exports to non-EU countries fell by 9.9% in 2020 compared with the previous year, the biggest drop since 2009, ISTAT said on Wednesday.
The national statistics agency said imports from non-EU counties plunged even more, by 15.3%.
Farmers' association Coldiretti said the big fall in exports was linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, US tariffs and Brexit-linked tension affecting trade.
