CUNEO, ITALY - Despite the pandemic, some Filipino businessmen continue to grow grapes and hazelnuts as businesses in Italy.
Adela Tirado and her Italian husband have been managing a ten -hectare farm in Cuneo, Italy for several years.

Next to Tirado’s farm is the vineyard of another Filipino businesswoman, Maryflor Felisilda, a native of South Cotabato.

Alvelyn Cadiong, a Filipina farmer from Davao del Norte, also has an extensive vineyard and hazelnuts. According to him, the pandemic had little effect on them even though the price of fruit dropped.
“Here on the other farm, you can’t feel the pandemic, because the harvest will continue, but the price of fruits like grapes will go down,” Cadiong, vineyard owner.
