ROME (ITALPRESS) – The reopening of bars, restaurants and farmhouses for outdoor table service is worth almost one billion euros in turnover from April 26th to June 1st when the possibility of accessing the premises will also be provided. This is what emerges from Coldiretti’s analysis on the effects of the new rules hypothesized for DL Covid being studied by the government. Allowing the reopening of restaurants for lunch and dinner for those with outdoor space concerns – estimates Coldiretti – on average about half of the 360 thousand catering services in Italy with the outdoor seats of the premises which are, however, much less than to those indoors. The greatest difficulties are recorded in urban centers squeezed between traffic and asphalt while in the countryside – underlines Coldiretti – we are organizing according to Campagna Amica to offer guests the opportunity to dine under the olive groves in the middle of the budding vineyards or in the vegetable garden. with the possibility of harvesting the vegetables directly. Reopenings are indicated as a priority by almost one in three Italians (30%) who wish to return to pubs, restaurants and farmhouses to spend convivial moments at the table with relatives and friends, according to a survey conducted online on the website www.coldiretti.it . A measure expected after months of lockdown that have dominated the Italians of an important component of society and heavily cut the incomes of operators with a fall in the turnover of catering by 42% in 2020. A benefit that cascades over the entire supply chain with 1.1 million tons of unsold food and wine since the beginning of the pandemic It is estimated that 330 thousand tons of beef, 270 thousand tons of fish and seafood and about 220 million bottles of wine – underlines Coldiretti – have never been arrived in the last year on the tables of the premises forced to an exhausting stop and go without the possibility of planning purchases even for highly perishable products. To the economic and occupational damage is added the risk of extinction for over 5 thousand local food and wine specialties, from cheeses to cured meats to desserts, due to the lack of market outlets due to the absence of tourists and the closure of restaurants and farmhouses where the traditions from the fields to the table have been handed down for centuries. Overall, 70,000 food industries and 740,000 farms along the supply chain are involved in the catering business – notes Coldiretti – committed to guaranteeing supplies for a total of 3.6 million jobs. It is a question of defending the country’s primary wealth with the national agri-food chain which – concludes Coldiretti – is worth 538 billion, equal to 25% of the national GDP, but is also a record company for quality, safety and variety at an international level.
