Product/chestnut Prodotto/castagna A good year for chestnuts though under pressure from the Asian product Castagne, una buona annata insidiata da Oriente Enrico Barcella Positive forecasts for the crop despite phytophage damage. Competition from the Chinese and Korean “mollissima” remains strong Previsioni positive per il raccolto nonostante l’azione dei fitofagi. Sui mercati internazionali resta forte la concorrenza di Cina e Corea con la loro “mollissima” With the new chestnut harvest nearly upon us, we have sought the opinions of some of those in the know about this year’s crop and the problems that could be encountered on the marketing side. The expert We turned first to Professor Elvio Bellini (Department of Horticulture - University of Florence) one of the foremost Italian experts in the field of chestnut cultivation. Professor Bellini, in 2009 Italian chestnut production was estimated at 50,000 tons and exports totalled 76 Fresh Point Magazine n.10 – october/ottobre 2010 In prossimità della nuova campagna di raccolta di castagne e marroni, abbiamo sentito il parere di alcuni specialisti sulle produzioni e sui problemi di mercato che si potranno riscontrare. Il parere dell’esperto Il nostro primo interlocutore è il professor Elvio Bellini (Dipartimento di Orto floro frutticoltura – Università di Firenze) uno dei massimi esperti italiani nello studio scientifico del settore della coltivazione del castagno. Professor Bellini, la produzione 2009 di castagne e mar-
around 20,000 tons. What is expected for this year? “The good weather we had in spring encouraged the setting and the development of the fruit. It could be an excellent year, both in terms of both quantity and quality if it were not for attacks from traditional phytophages - tortrix moths and chestnut weevil – which on average strike 30% of the crop. This is compounded by the damage caused by the chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus), which is expected to cause a further decrease in production in the order of 10% - 20%. In short, it should be a fairly good year with production on more or less the same levels in terms of quantity as last year. What are the main sources of uncertainty on the national and international markets? “Our product is facing growing competition from the increasing quantities of castanea mollissima from China, Korea and other Asian countries which are appearing on domestic and European markets. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that it seems that some batches of “mollissima” chestnuts produced in countries outside Europe arrive in Europe by way of Turkey, where they are fraudulently disguised as a European product. In recent months the Ministry of Agriculture has launched a roundtable discussion with a pool of experts in order to submit this problem for examination in Brussels. Meanwhile, the Ministry plans to create a brand for the Italian chestnut in order to defend consumers, roni è stata stimata intorno alle 50.000 tonnellate e l’export si è attestato intorno alle 20.000 tonnellate. Cosa ci si aspetta per l’anno in corso? «Il buon andamento del clima primaverile estivo ha favorito l’allegagione e anche lo sviluppo dei frutti. Potrebbe essere un’ottima annata, sia in termini di qualità che di quantità se non ci fossero le incidenze dei fitofagi tradizionali, Cydia e Balanino, che mediamente incidono sul 30% della produzione. A questi si somma il danno provocato dal Cinipide galligeno, che si stima possa provocare un ulteriore decremento produttivo del 10-20%. Insomma, un’annata discreta che si posizionerà grossomodo sugli stessi quantitativi dell’anno passato». Quali sono le maggiori incognite del mercato nazionale e internazionale? «Sui mercati nazionali ed europei sono sempre più pre- Product/chestnut Prodotto/castagna
