"Italian agriculture is now in a real situation of emergency. One farm out of three is at risk. Budgets are more and more 'in the red'. Production costs (especially beacuse of the increase in the price of diesel), are uncomfortably soaring and so are contributions and the suffocating 'weight' of bureaucracy. In 2011, more than 20,000 farms closed. And now a lethal blow is going to hit the whole sector: the new tax on rural buildings (Imu), and the increase in the farmland cadastral survey, as decided in the Monti manoeuvre. There is the danger that in the coming three or four years, further 250,000 farms may be forced to close."
