Italy: Caligari & Babbi buys flow-pack machine

"It rained a lot in the Metapontino area and some land was flooded, so part of the production was lost. In addition, high temperatures meant that our produce overlapped with that from Basilicata and Calabria and complicated things further," says Marco Babbi, sales manager for Caligari & Babbi.



"Fennel is sold on the wholesale markets between €0.80-0.90 and €1 per kilo, although some also sell at €0.50-0.60. However, sometimes we have to consider the logistics needed to handle the produce and in these cases prices do not cover expenses. In Europe also, temperatures were rather high, so consumers preferred local produce like cabbage."



"The only positive thing is that a month ago our new flow-pack machine arrived, which we mainly use for produce destined abroad - Northern Europe and Denmark. Fennel is packed in 500 and 750 gram packets."
