Cerezas/Italia: sequía redujo hasta un 60% la producción en Puglia principal zona productora

Hot, dry weather during the spring means harvested volume in Italy’s leading production region could be half what they were last season.

Cherry growers in the southern Italian region of Puglia have apparently lost a major slice of their production as a result of unusually hot and dry weather during the spring.

That’s according to Coldiretti Puglia, which estimated that more than half of the most common variety, Ferrovia, had been lost.

With another key variety, Bigarreau, also adversely affected, the group said the volume of fruit on the trees this season was around 50-60 per cent less than in 2023.
