"Shelf price increases in recent months have not, in most cases, translated into higher profits, and will only partially cover ever-increasing costs. I'm thinking in particular of the price paid to the agricultural sector for raw material, which has seen increases of up to 40% compared to last year, bringing the average reference price for round tomatoes to EUR 150 /tonne in both the north and south of the country. This is not an easy situation for our companies," says ANICAV President Marco Serafini. For this processing season, around 68,600 hectares have been planted in Italy, representing a 5% increase against 2022. On the basis of this information, and taking into account historical yields, it is possible to forecast a production of around 5.6 million tonnes.
"It's not hard to see how much it costs to prepare a plate of pasta with tomato sauce compared to a simple breakfast at the bar, with obvious differences in terms of nutritional value," concludes Giovanni De Angelis, ANICAV General Director. "As for us, we guarantee, as always, our utmost commitment to protecting and improving our sector, which is a flagship industry."
