One in three public businesses is at risk of closure in Italy. This is what Aldo Cursano, vicar vice president of Fipe affirms, speaking with Adnkronos about the situation in which companies in the sector find themselves. Not only because of the expensive energy, but also because the costs of food raw materials, expensive glass and even expensive paper and cardboard are increasing. A rain of price increases that is bringing bars and restaurants to their knees. A new and heartfelt alarm is launched by Fipe, the Italian Federation of Confcommercio public businesses. “One in three companies is at risk of closing down and paying the highest price are above all those that have recently opened, perhaps in the wake of the post-pandemic recovery, and that have greater banking exposures and less solidity”. This is what Aldo Cursano, vicar vice president of Fipe affirms, speaking with Adnkronos about the situation in which companies in the sector find themselves. “The basic ingredients for cooking have increased tremendously – reports the manager Fipe – starting with vegetables, meats and dairy products, not to mention flour and sauces, which have undergone increases from 70 to 150% depending on the raw materials. And all are also affected by the costs of transport “. Even the alarm for the increase in milk is added to the rest. And then we are witnessing a “paradox – continues Cursano – that for some types risks costing the container of the contents more. The crisis in the glassworks was reflected on the glasses that we use, on wine bottles, glass is the most used container because it preserves the products and has undergone extraordinary surges. Ceramic also and moreover, it is difficult to find even water: some lines are no longer on the market “.
