Sardinian agricultural and dairy sector crisis

Overview

The Sardinian agricultural sector is facing significant economic and biological challenges. The bovine industry is currently experiencing a crisis driven by lumpy skin disease (dermatitis) and strict movement restrictions from Brussels, which have caused paralysis in areas such as Samugheo. Producers are also contending with a ‘perfect storm’ of high energy and fuel costs, rising raw material and feed prices, water shortages, and extreme weather.

In response to these pressures, political groups have called for extraordinary regional plans to support businesses, protect jobs, and accelerate compensation. Concurrently, the Regional Government has held meetings to address the sheep dairy supply chain. Efforts are underway to stabilize market trends and prevent the devaluation of local products like Pecorino Romano through financial instruments, including minibonds and destocking measures.
