Truckers' Protests in Campania Disrupt Italian Food Supply Chains
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Truckers' protests in Campania, Italy, over soaring diesel prices have disrupted the movement of goods across southern Italy. The week-long strike has impacted the buffalo mozzarella industry, causing an estimated €3 million in losses in just 24 hours. Blockades prevented the processing of approximately one million liters of buffalo milk produced on Wednesday.

Why it matters
The disruption highlights the vulnerability of Italy's perishable goods supply chain to transport blockades. The buffalo mozzarella industry, which requires continuous fresh milk supply and must process milk within 60 hours, has been severely impacted by the inability to move raw materials and finished products.
