Summer fruits: normal harvest expected

 

 

 

The frosts and bad weather recorded in early March affected winter vegetables (artichokes, cabbages, broccoli, fennel) and some orchards that were already in bloom in the south of the country. But in the Emilia Romagna region a normal harvest is expected.

 

 

 

According to Fruitimprese ER, for the winter fruit campaign still in progress, apples are the best performers. The initial production deficit (-30%) is felt on the prices. For pears, after a certain stability, the market may go down. For kiwifruit, even after a lower than normal harvest, it remains complicated and the possibility of a price increase by the end of the season is fading.
