Import market for Fresh Zucchini in Ukraine (6월, 2022)

Agricultural damage in Venetian regions due to insect pests, sunburn, and drought is causing significant crop losses, with an estimated 20% drop in production in June. The situation is worsened by the advance of the Ips typographus parasite, which is killing fir trees due to climate change. This damage is part of a larger national issue caused by the globalization of trade and climate change, leading to the introduction of harmful insects and organisms. Coldiretti blames the European Union's lax controls for this situation, criticizing its permissive policies that allow the importation of products carrying parasites and pests, while Italian products face strict export controls.
