The Italian agricultural company, Caligari & Babbi, has commenced its fennel harvest for the year, marking a delay of 10 days compared to the previous season. The company, which operates under the Finò brand, sells fennel across Europe, including in Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Despite the slight delay and slower market demand, the company assures high-quality produce. The company is currently managing the challenges of increased operating costs and slow market demand, but no scarcity of fennel has been reported.
