The Portuguese government has imposed a temporary ban on the cultivation of olives, avocados, and red berries in the drought-stricken provinces of Alentejo and Algarve due to the severe water usage required. This measure, aimed at mitigating the impact of the ongoing extreme drought, will be maintained until the drought subsides. The government intends to promote the cultivation of less water-consuming crops, while maintaining that intensive crops are essential for income generation. The drought has impacted approximately 90% of mainland Portugal, with grain and livestock production being particularly affected, leading to concerns about necessary herd slaughter due to the drought's effects.
