Crisis in the tomato industry as the decline in production is accompanied by a fall in prices.
There has been a significant drop in production and lower prices as the crisis in the tomato industry in Italy sees lower production and lower prices. In the province of Foggia, the largest European producer of industrial tomatoes, production decreased
by 30%.
Bad weather, intense heat and lack of rain have led to a decrease in production. The price agreed between processors and farmers is lower than in the previous year and does not compensate for the shortfall.
