Tridge summary
The UPA Granada has requested this Tuesday, 28, that the administrations establish criteria that allow them to provide help to farmers affected by losses in almond production that, in some areas of Granada, reaches losses of up to 90% of the harvest. As reported by the agricultural organization, the early almond in the Montes Orientales, Baza, Cúllar, and Huéscar regions has suffered a lot of damage due to lack of rainfall, cold temperatures in spring, and even some frosts. The weather "has determined the flowering of the earliest varieties, such as the Guara or the Largueta, which negatively influences the harvest in certain areas", explained the general secretary of UPA Granada, Nicolás Chica. If you take into account that these early varieties can represent 50% of the 95,000 hectares that are cultivated in Granada alone, it could be the worst almond campaign in the last 5 years.
