Severe Storms in W46 Devastate Southern Spain Disrupting Food Production and Logistics

Severe storms during W46 in southern Spain have caused widespread devastation, particularly in Valencia, where residents express frustration over a lack of clear relief plans. This emotional toll is felt across local food businesses, impacting production activities. Logistics are also suffering, as major routes like the A7 remain blocked by debris, forcing transport companies to find alternative routes, leading to delays and increased costs. In agriculture, hailstorms have heavily damaged greenhouses in the El Ejido/Almeria region, though leafy vegetables and citrus orchards have been largely unaffected. However, increased humidity may have secondary effects on crops, which will take time to evaluate fully.
