Due to a drop in national olive production, Belpaese families will no longer have access to nearly one-third of the extra virgin olive oil produced in Italy. This comes as a blow to the region's economy, as rising costs have crippled farms and caused inflationary price increases due to the conflict in Ukraine. In a year profoundly marked by climate change and increases in the price of energy and raw materials, which weigh heavily on businesses and families, Coldiretti and Unaprol released an exclusive report titled "2022, the Made in Italy oil war" to coincide with the olive harvest along the peninsula in 2022/2023. Olive trees have adapted to the new temperature in the mountain valleys, so the harvest travels from Sicily up the peninsula to the north. The olive trees were under water stress, which damaged the flowering and later the buds, especially in locations where emergency irrigation couldn't be used to relieve the thirst and refresh the plants, resulting in a decline in national production of an estimated 30 percent. The high cost of gasoline, energy, service, and items to sustain the land's nutrition has deterred intervention on the part of various firms. In terms of the world's oil legacy, Italy holds the crown. Costs have soared by an average of 50%, putting many olive farms at risk of closure. Glass is more expensive now than it was a year ago by over 30%, but there have also been price hikes of 35% for labels, 45% for cardboard, 60% for tinplate cans, and as high as 70% for plastic. Energy prices have risen by an average of +170% across the board, from +129% for diesel in rural areas to +170% for fertilizers.
