Feletto, drought and expensive energy: farmers on their knees

The costs of fertilizers also tripled: a 40% drop in production is feared. Bollero: «Never seen such a crisis». Canale: “The vines are also at risk”

FELETTO. Dark clouds gather over Canavese farmers. But they are not the ones swollen with rain and therefore blessed these days. They are metaphorical and harbingers of grim times. They are called drought and expensive energy. Canavese agriculture is collapsing due to drought and the increase in bills and materials used by farmers such as, trivially, chemical fertilizers.
