意大利面产品的生产正面临威胁：由于该国南部卡车司机因燃料价格和生活成本飙升而发起抗议活动，导致原材料无法及时送达工厂。总部位于坎帕尼亚地区的 pasta 制造商 Rummo 周二表示，由于原材料耗尽，公司已暂停生产。首席执行官科西莫·鲁莫（Cosimo Rummo）在接受《共和国报》（La Repubblica）采访时称，邻近的普利亚（Puglia）地区以及坎帕尼亚和西西里（Sicily）地区的几乎所有主要 pasta 生产商都面临着类似的困境。
The production of Italian pasta is under threat as a truck drivers' protest in the south of the country over soaring fuel and cost-of-living prices blocks deliveries to factories. Pasta maker Rummo, based in the southern Campania region, said on Tuesday it had suspended production after running out of ingredients. Almost all major pasta producers in the neighboring region of Puglia, along with Campania and Sicily, which together form the heartland of Italy's pasta production, are facing similar difficulties, CEO Cosimo Rummo told the daily La Repubblica."
他说：“这意味着意大利的大部分 pasta 生产已经停滞，或即将停滞。”另一家位于莫利塞（Molise）地区的制造商 La Molisana 也表示，其产量大幅下降，不得不动用库存中的小麦和粗粒小麦等原材料。意大利面粉行业游说组织 Italiana Molisana 周警告称，如果抗议活动持续下去，越来越多的工厂可能被迫停产，整个供应链都将受到影响。
This means that most of Italy's pasta production has ground to a halt, or is close to," he said. La Molisana, another producer based in the Molise region, said on Tuesday it had experienced a significant drop in production and had been forced to draw on its stocks of raw materials such as wheat and semola. Italmopa, the Italian lobby of the milling industry, warned last week that a growing number of factories could be forced to stop production, with effects across the whole supply chain if the protests continued.
根据欧洲 House-Ambrosetti（TEHA Group）去年9月发布的报告，意大利的 pasta 产业链去年创造了135亿欧元的营收。
Italy's pasta supply chain generated €13.5 billion in revenue last year, the European House-Ambrosetti (TEHA Group) said in a September report.
意大利南部的食品和燃料供应正在面临严重短缺。政府承诺为卡车司机提供更多援助。意大利基础设施部副部长埃多阿多·里克西（Edoardo Rixi）在周二与卡车司机代表会面后表示，很快将提供价值超过1.5亿欧元的援助资金。意大利总理乔尔吉娅·梅洛尼（Giorgia Meloni）的政府也在准备加强安保措施，以应对周末在米兰及其他北部城市发生的骚乱——这些骚乱是由反对通货膨胀的示威活动引发的。
Food, fuel running out in southern ItalyThe government is pledging more aid for road haulers. After meeting with their representatives on Tuesday, Italian Deputy Infrastructure Minister Edoardo Rixi said a package worth more than €150 million would be made available soon. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's administration is also preparing a security crackdown in response to weekend riots in Milan and other northern cities, which developed on the back of demonstrations against inflation.
卡车司机的抗议活动始于上周，他们封锁了西西里和意大利南部的道路、高速公路及港口，导致超市商品短缺、加油站排长队等现象。人们纷纷抢购剩余的食品和燃料。
The truckers' protest, which began last week with the blocking of roads, motorways, and ports in Sicily and southern Italy, is causing wider disruption, including shortages at supermarkets and lines at gas stations." People were trying to grab whatever was left.
“我不得不去附近的一个小镇，同时我也采购了一些面粉以及我们平时常吃的食物，”45岁的齐内布·布蒂马（Zineb Boutimah）说道。她住在雷焦卡拉布里亚省（Reggio Calabria）南部的洛克里（Locri）镇。同样来自洛克里镇的78岁老人埃莱娜·隆巴尔多（Elena Lombardo）表示，她当地的加油站工作人员建议她在周一就尽快把油箱加满，并警告说：“我不知道明天是否还能有汽油供应。”到了周二，那家加油站已经关门了。
I had to go to a nearby town, and I also stocked up on flour and the food we consume most," said Zineb Boutimah, 45, who lives in Locri, a town in the southern province of Reggio Calabria. Elena Lombardo, 78, also from Locri, said her local gas station attendant had urged her to fill up her tank on Monday, warning, "I don't know whether there will be any petrol (gas) tomorrow." On Tuesday, the gas station was closed.
