“it is an unbearable cost for Italy and the European Union – said the president of Coldiretti Roberto Moncalvo – which plummeted prices of the products that were traditionally exported to Russia, causing an unprecedented crisis in sensitive sectors such as that of milk. A halt to imports of fruit, vegetables, meats and cheeses from Italy has also resulted in Russia a real boom in local production of fake products made in Italy.
