Approximately 20% of the tomato crop in the South is lost due to heat and transport issues, putting the Made in Italy tomato supply chain at risk, which generates nearly 2 billion euros in annual exports.

The fear is that behind the difficulties - adds Coldiretti - there may also be speculative maneuvers to lower the prices paid to farmers, which risk ending up below production costs. It is no coincidence that some processing ...
