It highlights a surge in demand and prices for onions and strawberries, with strawberries notably defying the usual post-Easter price drop. Conversely, courgettes, oranges, and asparagus are facing a downturn in both demand and prices, with oranges significantly underperforming due to the end of the Tarocco campaign and challenges with Sicilian red varieties. Additionally, the article notes a decrease in artichoke demand, a potato price increase due to a shortage of Italian yellow-fleshed varieties, and a rise in demand and price for peppers, albeit lower than the previous year. It also discusses the agricultural production in Italy, pointing out an increase in radicchio prices due to reduced availability, particularly from the Veneto region, and a decline in courgette prices despite good availability.
