A family member of mine used to be a buyer for the Italian foods department of a mid-market grocery chain in the US. His merchant for San Marzano tomatoes was a really down-to-earth dude. Occasionally, he would host my family member at his villa(s) in south-central mainland Italy. After just a couple of visits and tours of a few farms, it became clear to my family member that the business model of his supplier was more or less a legal Mafia, and the people at the top had a stranglehold on the farmers. I'm sure that _some sort_ of heritage will be protected with this ban.
