This year the white truffle season is complex, characterized by price and supply instability, however able to guarantee quantity and quality.
Shocked by the continuous adverse weather phenomena such as the long drought, the sector that today is worth over 500 million euros and sees more than 200,000 collectors in the field, will go from a poor start to the season with small nuggets, to the boom expected for November with good levels of growth for quarrymen, buyers and consumers. Prices, therefore, can fluctuate between 4,500 and 2,000 euros per kg. To say this are the leading experts in the sector who have returned to meet in Rome, guests of Cia-Agricoltori Italiani in Rome on the initiative of the Accademia del Tartufo nel Mondo.
The event, which represents the world preview of the 2021 season, has taken stock of the sector after the very uncertain year of the pandemic and in view of a full restart that will necessarily want the world catering sector as an ally, which has always been the ideal promoter of precious Italian product.
