Tridge summary

The article highlights the critical state of subtropical cultivation along Granada's Tropical Coast, with potential losses of up to 70% of production compared to the previous season. Achieving production is now secondary, and the focus is on saving farms. The right bank, home to cherimoya, avocado, mango, and medlar crops, is particularly affected. The left bank faces a serious water shortage as wells are running dry, and the aquifer is being overstrained.

The agricultural organization criticizes the lack of government action to address the crisis, claiming it could have been prevented with emergency works implemented since last August.
