Tomate Industrial: cambio climático afectará los rendimientos en principales países productores

Global warming will hinder the production and supply of processing tomatoes, and Italy will be the most affected among the main producing countries, a study in Nature Food finds.

Unlike salad tomatoes, which are usually grown in greenhouses, processing tomatoes are grown in open fields, which makes them more vulnerable to environmental change. Globally, 40 million tonnes are used annually in canned products such as paste, sauce and ketchup, making this type of tomatoes the most important processed vegetable in the world. About 85% of the global production is concentrated in 11 major production areas known as ‘tomato baskets’, and three countries alone account for 65% of it: the United States, Italy and China.
