The buyer question
Which decisions define the Aosta Valley agri-food mandate — mountain production at the documented niche-crop economics scale, or tourism-linked direct sales — and which production outcomes will the candidate personally own?
What the public record shows
The frame is the verified niche-crop record: Calabrian bergamot accounting for at least 90 percent of global production documents the economics of protected Italian niche supply chains; Aosta Valley's mountain producers operate in the same class of chains.
Niche-crop facts say nothing about any Aosta Valley employer's candidate pool, wages or vacancy duration.
What changes in this market
