Friends of Mediterranean identity,
this week we witnessed the umpteenth attack on United SpA from Italy, through the mass media, our products south. This time it was the tomatoes of Pachino (Wikipedia description here: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_di_Pachino ), produced PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) recognized by the EU and famous for its vitamin. You may wonder: What will never be a obbbiettare Rai, through a program of Goodness They Costanzo, on a particular species of tomato? Simple. According to a report aired during the program, the tomatoes of Pachino's too expensive, and the reason for such a high price is the presence of the Mafia, which drives up the price of tomatoes at each stage that passes from production to sale to the market . Precisely for this reason has been offered to consumers on national television, a boycott of Pachino tomatoes.
In reality the situation is quite different, because the tomatoes, as well as being a IGP product, has a EU certification body that deals with ad hoc control all the various steps followed by this product, from the collection for sale. The Mafia has nothing to do anything. The reality is that the tomatoes, as many other specialty products and the south, before being sold, following a number of bureaucratic steps that increase the price of 6-7 times the price offered by the farmers.
from this service are numerous parties in support of farmers and the product, including the intervention of the mayor of Victoria Giuseppe Milazzo, who BlogSicilia.it (Link posting here: http://ragusa.blogsicilia.it/ fino-a-quando-ci-saranno-minzolini-e-masi-noi-boicottiamo-loro/29616 / ) states: "This is yet , dangerous, stupid attack on a television now in disarray, that instead of blame who now is leading Italy to the precipice, he gets angry with the victims, with producers that already at its lowest for a crisis that does not breathe, must also be this boycott, "and to Colidiretti, which in 'Today's edition of the 19:30 TG3 Sicilia, announced within a month without a sale of tomatoes from the farmers, so as to reduce the cost of the product.
The solution to the problem of price is this, to streamline the chain oggettvamente too long, that links production to final sale of the product. What ever would boicattare a IGP product, if not to further destroy our economy? But the intent In my opinion, by United SpA of Italy, who led all the league is just that, reduce us to the pavement.
If the goal was to balance the market to lower prices, because the Tg and the Network of Minzolini have not talked about the outrageous choice of the 50 best wines of Italy, among which there is neither just a southern ? Why would not the league have talked about the absurd move to the European Parliament to remove the S. TG (Traditional Speciality Guaranteed) to Neapolitan pizza? Simple, perpetuate colonialism that has gone on for 150 years.
We at Mediterranean identity for the sovereignty of the Neapolitans and Sicily, we support Southern products, recognized worldwide as a symbol of Mediterranean cuisine, recognized as the best in the world. Certainly not President Obama has done 6000 km to come to Rome to eat polenta, do not you think?
