Heatwaves take toll on tomato across all Italian growing areas

摘要

HOT, dry conditions during the growing season and now during the harvest are putting severe pressure on Italian processing tomato crops in both the north and the south. Northern Italian tomato processing factories are now running at full capacity, a source in the area told FOODNEWS, but currently there is some crop bunching among the early- to mid-season varieties, and there is concern that after 15-20 August the productive potential may be low.
