«Is there still some obscure agricultural or industrial or political organization that is working against it? And would you like to postpone the launch of the Telematic Registry for wheat and the activation of Granaio Italia? It would be wrong and very serious to obscure it in the Agriculture Legislative Decree, because all this would go against the interests and battles carried out by farmers. Just when the activation of Granaio Italia finally seemed close, we wouldn’t want anyone to want to postpone this important measure. Anyone aiming for an extension must be aware that they are acting against cereal growers and consumers. No more postponements or second thoughts compared to what has already been agreed in the appropriate times and places.” There is a risk of canceling in one fell swoop the excellent work of coordination and mediation carried out at an institutional level and the continuous and determined commitment of CIA Agricoltori Italiani.
«No one is against the activation of Granaio Italia, because it is a fundamental measure to precisely trace all the wheat produced on national soil and also that which arrives from abroad, analyzing and establishing the identity, origin and wholesomeness of the wheat placed on the market”, explains Sicolo.
«Thousands of farmers have taken to the streets in Italy and across Europe in recent weeks. Italian farmers have asked for the immediate activation of Granaio Italia. The expectations and expectations of those farmers who mobilized, promoting a popular petition shared by many signatories and who saw the support of municipal administrations and institutional representatives at all levels, should not be betrayed.”
