BOLZANO. The Alto Adige of fields and vineyards is sort of a dense chessboard, made up of by no means very giant squares: in reality, the farms have on common lower than two hectares of cultivated land. However for the small to proceed to be lovely, it must suppose huge and depend on those that can create vital mass. «Our activity – says Herbert von Leon – is to supply help to those that, on their very own, couldn’t afford it». Von Leon is the president of the Raiffeisen Federation, that’s, the chessboard on which corporations work. Each, the united community of cooperatives, stand on 4 pillars: the banking world – 39 Raiffeisen banks – social, power and agriculture. «The final sector has to face troublesome years. And this 2023, for fruit crops, was 8% decrease within the harvest. The social sector wants stability – explains Robert Zampieri, the overall director – however power and banking endure inside a paperwork that typically seems like an octopus”. And so the dialogue with those that dictate the principles turns into central. «A virtuous relationship with politics and which due to this fact brings outcomes – provides Zampieri – is what our members ask of us». Who appear happy with the weaving work if, as was revealed in yesterday’s common meeting within the Bolzano headquarters, on the finish of final 12 months there have been 328 coops and 33 member organisations, with various particular person members that has doubled in ten years : from 125,581 to 240 thousand.
Merely put: roughly one in three South Tyroleans is a Raiffeisen member. «The gross added worth of your complete group was 876 million, statistically it’s 3,751 euros for every South Tyrolean household»: listed here are the figures listed by von Leon. On the finish of the 12 months, complete web property amounted to three.9 billion euros and the mixture stability sheet quantity to 26.5 billion. With a market that’s by no means homogeneous. Given the struggling of fruit and greens – because of the drop in revenues and the rise in prices – the wine cooperatives have seen a easier 12 months. Over 31 thousand tons of grapes delivered with a rise of 9.5% and 98.4 million euros: a rise of 6.7% per 12 months. The dairy cooperatives, in flip, obtained 5.2% much less milk however had been capable of command larger market costs. Lastly, power cooperatives. Right here, between electrical energy, biogas and district heating, we have now managed to produce renewables to over 25 thousand members. Lastly, the brand new: provided that the dearth of certified personnel is among the most widespread vital points, the “recruiting” space was created throughout the Federation. Whereas the 4.5-day working week has been launched amongst staff (there are 217 of which half are girls thus far), with 40% capable of work their hours at house. P.CA.
