Italian agriculture requires tens of thousands of people at harvest time – the photo shows the grape harvest in northern Italy. (archive image)

The biggest problem is that more and more people stop working because of their age. It is difficult to fill these positions with new people, Calderone said at a union event in Rome.

According to the trade association Assoturismo Confesercenti, the tourism sector in particular has been hit hard by the staff shortage. There are also complaints about a lack of applicants and qualified personnel in the hospitality industry. According to the association, some 50,000 workers went missing in these sectors during the Easter months.

At least 100,000 workers are needed in Italian agriculture for the summer and harvest months, according to the agricultural association Coldiretti after Calderone’s statements. There is an urgent need for tractor drivers, breeders, tree choppers and pickers for vegetables, fruit and the grape harvest. But also in the digital sector there is a need for specialists such as agricultural technicians, who can, for example, control drones, read weather data and use IT tools.
