I believe the answer is:

joint venture

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'set-up' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'anyone getting into drugs trade business incorporating the camorra and 'ndrangheta for example' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'into' is 'oint' which is present in the answer.
'drugs' could be 'e' (somebody 'on E' could also be 'on drugs') and 'e' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.
