Olive Harvest In Puglia

Workers at work during the olive harvest in a fund of Molfetta, on October 27, 2022. The new oil is back in Puglia with the start of the olive harvest in a year characterized by drought that has halved the production of excellent quality, while the explosion of costs brings farms to their knees. This is what emerges from the report "2022, the Made in Italy oil war" by Coldiretti Puglia released on the occasion of the start of the olive harvest 2022/2023 in a year profoundly marked by climate change and by increases in energy and raw materials they weigh on companies and families. In the heart of Italian olive growing, there is a risk of a cut of up to 50% due to off-season frosts in spring and then from drought, while Salento continues to lose ground - reports Coldiretti Puglia - due to Xylella, which burned a potential equal to 10% of national production.
