"Green light for compensatory interventions to help wineries in areas affected by downy mildew during the 2023 campaign".
This was announced in a note by the Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry, Francesco Lollobrigida.
"The Meloni Government - he adds - is at the forefront of supporting the wine sector. With the publication of the decree in the Gazzetta, as I anticipated last January to the Abruzzo agricultural and wine associations, in the meeting promoted at Masaf by the President of the Abruzzo Region, Marco Marsilio, through the declarations currently being published affected companies will now be able to access contributions for economic and productive recovery, including the reduction of INPS contributions and the extension of mortgage repayments.
Let's give concrete answers and strengthen the Italian supply chains damaged by this disease in Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Lazio, Molise, Campania, Puglia, Tuscany, Sicily, Umbria and Marche".
"In the next few weeks, Agea will begin to collect requests from affected agricultural companies. We will also work on the agricultural emergency fund to integrate these resources and support the wine supply chain, which is fundamental for our economy and our culture", concludes the minister.
