What happened
Protests by hauliers and farmers against rising fuel prices continue in southern Italy, causing repercussions on the circulation and distribution of goods in Calabria and other southern regions. The mobilization, which has lasted up to ten days, has led to some service stations running out of fuel and fresh products starting to run out in supermarkets. The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport scheduled a meeting for October 20 in Milan to discuss the dispute with hauliers' representatives and autonomous groups from Calabria, Sicily, and Puglia.

Why it matters
The ongoing protests and blocked deliveries are severely impacting regional agriculture and distribution networks. Agricultural companies and producers are facing difficulties due to blocked deliveries and the risk of losing perishable goods or harvest. The dispute is centered on the average price of diesel approaching 2.3 euros per litre.
Local issues across Italy include infrastructure concerns in Castrovillari and port investments in Gioia Tauro.
