Why Figs Are Suddenly So Pricey

Ever noticed figs are missing from your grocery haul? Blame wild weather in Italy—unexpected frosts and heavy rain wiped out up to 70% of this season’s fig crop. Farmers are hurting, and if things don’t improve, they might ditch figs for something easier to grow. For us, that means higher prices and fewer figs for our cheese boards. It’s a reminder that climate swings can hit our snacks and wallets. Maybe time to try a new fruit or support local farmers at the market! #FoodShortage #ClimateImpact #FarmersLife #Business #Industry
