Italy: Reduction of the olive harvest.

  The initial data on the olive harvest are disappointing compared to the 2019 campaign, as it is shaping up to be a reduction in production. The Institute of the Service for the Agricultural Food Market (ISMEA) has renewed the forecasts for the 2020/21 campaign, the production is reduced by 30%. In the Central - North part of Italy, the forecasts are more optimistic as there are increases for example in Tuscany with 31%, 8% in Lazio and 70% in Umbria, among others. In short, there is a considerable reduction in production, but high quality is expected thanks to a large flowering and favorable climatic conditions.
