Italian term or phrase: una predisposizione pedo-climatica e territoriale
The sentence reads: Una predisposizione pedo-climatica e territoriale influisce senz'altro positivamente, ma è la filiera, i suoi passaggi stretti, precisi e corretti che ne danno il risultato più importante.

This is for an Italian website on olive oils. The writer is trying to debunk the myth that certain areas are better than others for growing olives and producing superior-quality olive oil. Many thanks for any suggestions.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Nicoleta for your suggestion. I thought your reply was correct but would be less comprehensible to a general reader who will be reading the olive oil guide whereas pedo-climatic etc is more specialist vocab. Thanks again.
