“The horticultural industry of the Campania region finally has its point of reference”. This was announced by Coldiretti, which indicates the realization of the Regional council for floriculture.
“A project that began three years ago, strongly supported by the president of Coldiretti Ettore Prandini and which aims for the growth of the sector starting from training of entrepreneurs – underlines the director of Coldiretti Campania Salvatore Loffreda – Inform about the laws in force and the opportunities to be seized. And again, the valorization of Made in Italy crops, the recognition of the right income and the protection of national productions with appropriate labeling” .
The spotlight is being turned on a sector that has too often been kept on the sidelines of discussions, but which instead occupies a… important place in terms of number of companies and employees, as he explains No Scissors coordinator of the National Floriculture Council of Coldiretti: “We met 150 small and large companies in the sector. Flower and plant producers, arborists, greenery maintainers. All present at the various moments of debate. With them we explained the things done by the national council and what needed to be done. We found a great desire to do things and a great interest in participating in the one in Campania.”
There is a lot of work to do, as he explains Mario Faro President of the Coldiretti Floricultural and Nursery National Council: “We insist on the made in Italy product. Too many foreign products on our market that compete unfairly with our farmers, too often the flowers come from countries that have labor costs far lower than ours. We need compensation, we must help those who respect the rules and produce quality products. The task of the regional council will be to listen and forward the reports to the national management to try to resolve the problems by bringing them to the attention of Rome and Brussels depending on the type of need”.
