Ukrainian War, Coldiretti: “Bread and pasta costs skyrocket”
There war in Ukraine does not show signs of stopping. Another night of bombing Russians in the capital KIev. An escalation that has explosive effects on the price of grain And corn in Italy and which risks running out of stocks already a Easter. The alarm, after yet another high-voltage day, is raised by Ettore Prandinipresident of Coldiretti. “First of all – explains Prandini to the Messenger – I express my solidarity with the Ukrainian people who are experiencing dramatic moments. I am sure that bread and pasta the Italians will not miss them though they will cost more“. With stocks that can run out in less than two months. Now” we risk – he adds – having to face a crisis much more serious if you don’t help ours agriculture to survive in a situation where in almost all sectors i costs are higher than revenues with 30% of agricultural enterprises, from dairy to meat, from oil to wine, from wheat to fruit and vegetables to flowers, which is planning to reduce production“.
But how much – continues the Messenger – Italy does it depend on abroad? From Ukraine 20% of Italian imports of maize for farms arrive, but also 5% of wheat for bread making. “The impact – says Prandini – is not only direct but also indirect because it deals with products that have a global market with i price increases which also affected imports from other countries. A danger for our country that imports 53% of corn it needs and the 64% of the grain for the production of bread and biscuits “.
