Tridge summary
The Sardinian sheep sector has shown resilience amidst Covid-19 and potential higher tariffs in the US, with positive signs of recovery and increased optimism, particularly among young farmers. According to the Agricultural Studies Center of Cagliari, the production of sheep' milk and cheeses, including Pecorino Romano Dop, has seen improvements, despite challenges such as a decrease in the percentage of Pecorino Romano DOP production and a drop in the average milk yield. The domain has benefited from increased sales in European markets, although there has been a collapse in the US market due to higher tariffs. However, there is a call for urgent structural reforms and actions to secure the future of the sector. The sector's optimism is reinforced by the possibility of paying sheep's milk at 1 euro per liter, a significant increase from the previous 0.80 euros, thanks to the Consortium for the protection of Pecorino Romano and quality incentives.
