Mango Industry Sizzles In An Unexpected Place: Sicily

Mango Industry Sizzles In An Unexpected Place: Sicily

Yahoo05-02-2025

Italian farmers used to growing lemons and pears are increasingly turning to tropical fruits like mango.
The change is driven by warmer temperatures and a higher sales price, according to Pietro Cuccio, the farmer who takes credit for pioneering mango growing on Sicily 20 years ago.
Mangos don't do well in cold weather, especially as temperatures dip toward freezing.
"However, they grow well in sunny and very hot spring times and summers," Cuccio told Green European Journal. "Let's say that the current temperatures are particularly favorable, and it is likely that they will be increasingly so."
The Italian southern island has seen a series of dangerous summer heat waves in recent years, forcing tourists inside and prompting red alert heat warnings.
The highest temperature ever recorded in continental Europe as a whole was nearly 120 degrees Fahrenheit on Aug. 11, 2021, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
That record was set in Sicily.
From weather.com meteorologist Jennifer Gray:
Climate change is having a huge impact on agriculture. As temperatures, growing seasons and precipitation patterns change, farmers are forced to make a decision. Many times, moving to a different location to plant their crops in a more conducive environment isn't an option, so they are opting to plant something else.
This could lead to a huge shift from where we have traditionally seen certain foods grown, to a completely new landscape.
Climate change is all about adapting, in every aspect – including farming.
The United States imported more than $571 million worth of fresh mangos in 2023, according to the National Mango Board. The retail value was more than $1.5 billion.
Those numbers rose steadily over the past six years as mangos became a popular ingredient in smoothies and salads, and as dried snacks.
Most mangos in the U.S. come from Mexico, but crops there have taken a hit recently due to economic factors and extreme weather.
The price of fresh mangos in the U.S. fluctuates widely and in general hasn't showna dramatic increase, according to numbers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
But any change in growing patterns can have an impact, and a growing body of research links climate changeto rising food prices.

Storm tracker: NHC tracks Tropical Storms Barbara and Cosme

Less than 24 hours after being dubbed a hurricane, Tropical Storm Barbara has weakened. At the same time, the National Hurricane Center continues to track Tropical Storm Cosme and another area of low pressure that could develop into a system. Barbara is expected to continue diminishing through Tuesday. Tropical Storm Cosme is expected to weaken through Thursday morning. Both storms are being tracked through the eastern Pacific Ocean, off the coast of southwestern Mexico, according to the NHC. Another area of low pressure off the coast of Mexico is expected to develop into a tropical depression later this week as "environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this system," according to the NHC. This forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time. Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 miles per hour. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Delaying potentially life-saving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," NOAA recommends. Develop an evacuation plan: If you are at risk from hurricanes, you need an evacuation plan. Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there. Assemble disaster supplies: Whether you're evacuating or sheltering-in-place, you're going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for the potentially lengthy aftermath, NOAA said. Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions: Contact your insurance company or agent now and ask for an insurance check-up to make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and/or belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance doesn't cover flooding, so you'll need a separate policy for it. Flood insurance is available through your company, agent, or the National Flood Insurance Program. Act now, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period. Create a family communication plan: NOAA said to take the time now to write down your hurricane plan, and share it with your family. Determine family meeting places, and make sure to include an out-of-town location in case of evacuation. Strengthen your home: Now is the time to improve your home's ability to withstand hurricane impacts. Trim trees; install storm shutters, accordion shutters, and/or impact glass; seal outside wall openings. Contributing: Jay Cannon, USA TODAY Julia is a trending reporter for USA TODAY.
