MEP Tridico proposes minimum price and diesel cap to address agricultural imbalance
What happened
Pasquale Tridico, head of the M5s delegation, discussed economic imbalance with local groups following a meeting in Vibo Valentia. Tridico noted that small agricultural producers are struggling because rising production costs are not covered by sales prices. He observed that product prices increase significantly along the distribution chain before reaching consumers.

Why it matters
The discussion highlights a contradiction in the economic system regarding the distribution of value within the supply chain. Tridico suggested that structural responses, such as a fair minimum agricultural price and a cap on diesel costs, are necessary to protect both producers and consumers.
