The Évora Region's peanut farmers have experienced significant losses due to water scarcity, high input costs, and a lack of support, resulting in a poor quality and quantity of harvest. The season saw a decrease in production by half a ton per hectare, with the potential for even less in the next year due to these challenges. Additionally, the high cost of fertilizers, which has increased by 300% compared to previous years, has further strained the farmers. Despite these setbacks, the price of peanuts has slightly increased, but the small harvest means there is little to sell. This has led to low expectations for the future of peanut farming in the region.
