THE Casamassima cherry producers they decided to to protest because of prices too low. The fact is that farmers sell them for 1 euro per kg, but then these cherries end up arriving in supermarkets for 16 euro per kg.
For this reason, after the complaint made by trade associations including Coldiretti (which had also asked the Puglia Region for a discussion table), the producers decided to contest in their own way. Just in Casamassima, in the province of Bari, they hung funeral posters to symbolically announce the death of the “Ferrovia” cherry.
A farmer then decided to unloading about twenty kg of cherries on the street in front of a fruit shop and in front of the town hall.
Giuseppe Nitti, mayor of the city, explained that the too low price of cherries is causing big ones difficulty to farmers who, as always, have to wait a whole year to reap the fruits of their labor (and among other things, this year, due to bad weather, 25% less cherries will arrive on the shop counters).
Only this story repeats itself every year. According to the mayor, small farmers should consider the idea of uniting and teaming up in order to present themselves on the market with a common front to obtain better prices. And this is because the cherries are sold by farmers at 1 euro per kg, only to arrive in the GDO of Northern Italy even at 16 euros per kg, with a considerable disparity in price.
