Italy: More than 3 billion Euros damage

After the autumn storms recorded recently, the estimated direct and indirect damage caused to agriculture by extreme weather events during 2012 amounts to 3 billion Euro: snow and ice that blocked Italy during the winter and then warm and summer drought that burned the crops.

That's what Coldiretti reports in reference to the new wave of bad weather that hit the south after having caused hundreds of millions of damage to agriculture in central Italy. Agricultural production, as a result of the damage, will only cover 75% of the national food consumption.
