In addition, in the tomato segment, difficulties also arose from the ToBRFV virus. FreshPlaza has talked about the situation on the table tomato segment in an interview with Bruno Busin, Product Development Specialist Solanacee at Syngenta. "Compared with the last season, the winter campaign ended early in Sicily with production imbalances and high costs. In the meantime, British vegetable exports were blocked to safeguard the domestic market." Spain understood that the tomato segment would be suffering a while ago and tried to diversify by also focusing on avocadoes, pistachios, and other potentially more profitable red berry cultivars.
