Wheat price dropped of 31% since last year and now production is not profitable animore.

300.000 farms, specially in the south are likely to close if this continues; 2 million ettars are at risk and there is no alternative, only desertification.

Still there are no regulations on importation or storage: 40% of wheat intended to pasta or bread production is imported and this is a less regulated and of a lower quality overall.

From wheat to bread prices rise of 1450% and from wheat to pasta 400%

Italy can't survive with this reckless globalism and free trade and if the TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) passes this can only get worse.

Globalism was lauded as the cure to a failing post war economy but all it does is to increases widespread poverty. agricultural collapse is at stake.

Right now our farmers can only exist due to subsidies and protectionism, if we keep this up it will end up the same way than with coal mining

The EU did the same for olive oil, when it was imported from Tunisia. We could sustain ourselves without having excessive importations imposed. But as always, italian farmers' interests are disgregarded.

Some things are worth protecting. If we allow our arable land to degrade through neglect we are at the complete mercy of others. IMO strategic industries should be propped up by the government, if not nationalised. Another benefit of being out of the EU is we can now bail out and protect our industries.

>>80586128
I know it can't compare but at stake there is a good percentage of the south workforce. i mean 300.000 farms? how many workers per farm? only 10? well thats 3 million people.

if the price continues to drop the next step will be hiring immigrants wich work for less, maybe unreported employment, maybe not.

at worst we lose 2 million ettars of soil forever

That's old news, EU destroy agriculture of whole Europe to replace it with American GMO and Chinese crops. Same thing with supermarkets, they lower prices as long as they conquer the market and you can't compete with them, since they risk supermarkets and billions of money to conquer market, all international or German companies. We have small towns of 5000 people where 5 big supermarkets constructed their buildings, you know well only max 2 going to survive. Farmers in EU lived only from subventions and repairs from elements. I had driven around and got offers from farmer to give me potatoes for free, since he will have more expenses transporting them, so if i come pick them up, which i did, then he doesn't needs to dispose of them. Such is life of native farmers.

And subsidies are solving this how, exactly? You're keeping unprofitable, dead-end businesses alive that have no chance at ever modernizing. Especially the Italians and French are notorious for not modernizing their industries. It's not just food, either.

http://www.exposingtruth.com/new-un-report-finds-almost-no-industry-profitable-if-environmental-costs-were-included/

"The report found that when you took the externalized costs into effect, essentially NONE of the industries was actually making a profit. The huge profit margins being made by the world’s most profitable industries (oil, meat, tobacco, mining, electronics) is being paid for against the future: we are trading long term sustainability for the benefit of shareholders. Sometimes the environmental costs vastly outweighed revenue, meaning that these industries would be constantly losing money had they actually been paying for the ecological damage and strain they were causing."

99.999999999% of all economic recoveries are just spread sheet bloat from inflation and currency devaluation. even when every one wall street included says your currency is worth the same amount companies charge more over time for lots of things so at the end of the day the currency is actually less valuable.

Prices are low for the companies that buy tonnes of it, which means the farms that produce it earn nothing. Then the final product that people consume (bread or pasta) is more and more expensive

Globalism is bad, so is TTIP.

But agriculture has been by default an economic loss for the past 10 years, at least.

The problem is within you, because you're backwards ass people, incapable of emerging from your comfy little shell. Italy has all the potential to fill a very solid economic void right now, the only problem is you want "muh people who say it as it is" in government, back to the traditional economies that just make no money any more and a policy that doesn't make you have to go out, be creative and compete with others.

I got bad news for you Mario - competition is tough. If the other country can produce more wheat at a cheaper price and comparable quality, you're fucked. You have to take it like a champ and refocus on high-quality pasta or whatever.

while I find TTIP and free trade to be inherently evil, the ISDS provision is the least of TTIP's problems.

Voting/democracy isn't as simple a process as that. I know most southerners get it wrong, considering I am southern as well.

21st century offers you a unique advantage over the elite - the polls. You watch the fucking polls.

So, I'd say it's in your interest to have the PD in power now. It's also in your interest to have it there just barely and under extreme pressure.

Basically, don't vote if you can get that result and they can see less votes, vote someone else if they get too far ahead, vote them if someone might sneak in instead of them.

And if they fail to improve while under pressure, then think about someone else.

If someone genuinely BETTER shows up, vote for him.

In the current situation - as I explained. Have them in power, under pressure.

They exist because Luigi and Pierre cried to the germans that they don't want to have to close their farms and refocus production on something better.

2) Deliver major long-term economic benefits

Can't you just understand that there is no room for fucking giant farms in Europe and that we don't want to use toxic stuff to be competitive with you ?

>no referendum on wether we want to stay in the EU and mantain the Euro

That is colossaly stupid

>Unemployment currently keeps growing

That is only slightly the governments fault. There is little they could do to improve that.

>black labor "solved" by legalizing it

That is the way to solve it. See: most other developed countries and how they solve similar problems.

>People are leaving in droves, but apparently this is not a problem. It doesn't indicate that the country is going to shit

Not something the government can improve right now and it's something that's happening in practically every southern European country.

>Taxes constantly increasing despite him saying they would go down (this blocks and form of private investment by the middle class into the economy)

Yes, that is bad.

>we keep bailing out shitty banks instead of letting them fail because the EU commands us to (and we use public money)

You have no choice and literally any government you had would have to do this.

>crime rapidly increasing and absolutely zero steps towards modernized self defense laws. My family's shop has been burglarized 3 times in 9 onths already

Sounds like the first tme Italy has had problems with that, imo.

>borders wide open for both niggers

Alright

>low quality crap products, with all industreis leaving and thus contributing to the enormous unemployment.

Welcome to the 21st century and competition. Enjoy your stay. It's the price you pay for having netflix and an ipad or whatever.

>And the only thing the government worries about is gay marriage (apparently a very urgent need)

I dunno senpai, I think the biggest worry right now is the senate. Which is a good direction to go for.

TTIP is going to crash your food production. With no survivors.

>I'd say that's a reason for at least asking the population if they wish to continue this way. Otherwise we might as well go back to Mussolini's time were "il duce ha sempre ragione" and we are supposed to suck it up

We are in that time. Except it's not Mussolini, it's a combination of the world's elite. And yes, you have to suck it up that they want you to bail banks and you have no choice.

> Also a priority, instead of padering to gays just to stay in power, should be that of making investments in Italy more attractive by removing some of our bureocracy.

I wholly agree with this. But bureocracy is the symptom of a failed political system with far too much of its own going on. That goes through senate shit (see below)

>So much for workers' rights and respecting the laws uh?

It's not that I don't agree with you. But you can't, in the current situation. Your best bet right now is to legalize it and try to bring it in order.

>We are plagued by crime and it's increasing exponentially

I was being sarcastic.

Crime is a symtpom.

> If at the same time we have an intelligent policy to attract investment,

Again, fixing the bureocracy and corruption is first and foremost.

>I'd say unemployment is. Removing the senate only serves in removing a buffer for our democracy and only aids in consolidating power

That;s the crux of the issue. The senate doesn't serve as a buffer, it serves as something that makes the political class its own construct. As long as the senate exists as it is, a government can never have enough power or possibility to fix all those things you listed. Obviously they're all problems, but you can't begin fixing them until you've fixed that which prevents you from fixing them.

And I know how you all cry about them consolidating power, but a government needs to have power in order to change anything.

I also recognize that it's the left's own fault for bitching about the right consolidating power.

He can't be stupid enough to not understand the consequences, shit's pretty obvious. That means he's a globalist good goy.

Pretty sad actually. They will try real hard to push TTIP. And that means we're going to eat Monsanto shit very soon, because local farmers just won't be able to compete under TTIP.
>>
Well I won't buy monsanto shit and I will buy Italian vegetables,even if they are more expensive.
If we all do this there wouldn't be theese issues

30% of EU's budget is already farm subsidies

Guess you'll just have to increase that to keep you lazy wops competitive.

Dairy milk is in the same boat in the U.S. I don't have the exact numbers off the top of my head, but memory says store markups are 200-250%

Which bites, as I drink a gallon a week.

this means africa is actually the most profitable continent on the entire earth

>>80603493
The problem with Africa is that the lack when it comes to necessities. Even if all countries and corporations would pay their environmental costs Africa would have to buy food and water from the rest (price would include environmental cost and profit).

Most of their land is just not suitable for farming.

You occupy a niche by producing flowers and cucumbers, we can't eat sustain the population with that, we need cereals too.

>>80586986
Hegemony in producing trash, your food is literally poison, that's why you are disgusting diabetic fat fucks. I don't want your shit here and never will, it already break my heart to see fatties buying your soda shit every week at the grocery store.

>>80596059
The EU subsidies are a Kafka trap:
- they force the farms to buy special type of seeds and chemical if they want them
- they fix price of subsidies depending what you produce, so most of the people produce the same shit which in return mechanically diminishes the sell price of the production which make them even more dependant in subsidies

The PAC is an a bad model but at the same time we can't really end it because EVERYONE outside do the same.
For example the US are massively subsidizing their agriculture too.

What?
>>
>>80605828
That's because niggers can't farm.

Look at Rhodesia and South Africa.

Don't be ridiculous. They'll just find a way to change their assets to other forms or just corrupt shit like until today.
