Mitchell Ogilvie was never meant to open a menswear store. The self-confessed terrible student – “I was hopeless at school” – had no real plan when it came to his career, so it is a surprise even to him that this month he celebrates 40 years in business.
Fair prices for seasonal vegetables Monday, 18 January, was an amazing day for the quantities sold at the wholesale market in Bologna, said Roberto Bortolotti, operator at Bologna s fruit and vegetable market, Caab. There is a lot of supply from central and southern Italy, despite the drop in temperatures. Winter vegetables are very much in demand and prices are good, in line with expectations. That s nice for the growers and other players in the sector, who are seeing their work well rewarded.

On Tuesday, 19 January, Bortolotti noticed a setback, with sales many times lower than the day before. Regarding winter vegetables, we are noticing that broccoli are being sold at a price ranging from €0.80 to €1.20 per kilo. This can be attributed to the different types of quality.
