some areas of Puglia were hit by violent and unforeseen extreme weather conditions
a company in the province of Foggia (Torremaggiore) with 500 hectares dedicated to the processing of tomatoes
a whirlwind hit part of our area and turned into a thunderstorm with hail
bad weather was forecast for Sunday and Monday
knowing that we were going to start seeing damage soon
Dozens of empty bins were thus dragged 400-500 meters
20-22 hectares of round and long tomatoes had a damage rate of even more than 80 percent
but in some plots the plants were completely dismantled
leaving only the surface irrigation system visible
the processing tomato campaign is almost over
otherwise the balance would have been worrisome."
The instability took shape under the sub-Appennine Dauno
The Apulian entrepreneur explained that the berries most affected by the hail are not marketable for some planned processing (such as diced or peeled tomatoes)
but still destined for industry for other uses (e.g
"It hasn't even rained about 5 kilometers from the epicenter
We still have 75 hectares of tomatoes to harvest
We've been asking all our members for several years to take out insurance against unforeseen and destructive weather events in the face of accelerating climate change
they should be able to recover their gross saleable production
Many farmers now see insurance not as an additional cost
but as a useful expense to limit business risks

Italian Police officers have arrested an Albanian man who killed his daughter and the man who he thought was his wife’s lover
The tragedy occurred in Torremaggiore in Foggia with the man being identified as Taulant Malaj aged 45
It was during an argument with his wife Tefta
that the man stabbed their daughter Gessica
He also killed Massimo De Santis (small photo)
the 51-year-old man whom he thought was the lover
At first it was believed that the girl came between the parents to protect her mother from her father
they found footage on a mobile which changed the theory about the murder
In the footage the man is heard telling his wife that he was not going to kill her so that she would know what it was like to suffer like he had suffered
The Police are also investigating whether the father intended to also kill their five-year-old son
The woman is being treated at the hospital for injuries and shock and investigators are waiting for her to recover so that they can question her
When horticultural seed companies introduce new tomato varieties for industrial processing
they need to consider whether they can achieve the dual benefit of providing the best possible balance in both yields and quality
The new Syngenta tomato varieties are a step in this direction
Fantix (an elongated variety) and Redix (a prismatic variety)
which have already been tested in the last two years by a number of Italian companies and are now fully part of their production programs
one of Italy's leading companies in the production of processed tomatoes and a partner of Gianluigi Di Leo's Calispa S.p.a.
specialized in the production of high quality canned tomatoes
sold both under its own brand Nobile and under the distributor's brand
(Pictured alongside: Marco Nicastro - Soc Coop Agr Mediterraneo S.p.a and Gianluigi Di Leo
We spoke with Marco Nicastro (pictured below)
one of Italy's most specialized areas for growing tomatoes for the processing industry
"This species has always been our core business
We were born in 2011 and then obtained the recognition as a PO in 2013
At the moment we count 500 hectares of land dedicated to tomatoes
recognizing the value of the agricultural producer's work
and ensuring transparency and legality in the supply chain
We want to increase the value of made in Italy products
and a high initial level of quality is essential
so we are always looking for varieties that perform optimally even in the face of climate change
Fantix and Redix are part of an experimental project that started two years ago
12 hectares are planted with both varieties
but we will reach 50 hectares by the 2024 season"
Marco Nicastro Soc Coop Agr Mediterraneo and Paolo Fiscarelli Syngenta Vegetable Seeds
The president explains that in the current year
which is characterized by critical climatic issues
such as sudden changes in terms and persistent heat
the two Syngenta cultivars have resisted better than those traditionally grown in the area
"The weather pattern has compromised many crops
showing excellent resistance to July's African temperatures and sunburn
the attractive foliage protects the berries
ensuring high yields and a product that meets the sustainability and quality requirements of the market
Quality is created in the field and maintained throughout the supply chain to the end consumer
Fantix and Redix have excellent berry retention even during prolonged droughts
Sustainability is one of our priorities and we are keen to minimize waste in the fields
in part through appropriate genetic selection
Fantix: Long variety suitable for early to mid-season transplanting
A high yielding variety with a harvest between late July and mid-September
ideal for processing into peeled tomatoes and also suitable as a diced tomato and for the fresh market
appreciated on the market for both its excellent shelf life in the fields and after harvesting
along with its ripening potential and exceptional adaptability to different soil conditions
The harvesting period is from the end of July to the beginning of September
technical sales manager for Syngenta Vegetable Seeds
says: "It is essential to work with companies in the area in a systematic way
A constant presence and a continuous interaction allow us to work in a targeted and optimal way
right from the stages of genetic selection and management in the fields
we have built a relationship of trust and cooperation with the common goal of providing quality products to increase the value of Italian processed foods
