Tridge summary

Nicolás Chica, the general secretary of UPA Granada, has predicted a 25% increase in green asparagus production this season, thanks to the beneficial heavy rains during Holy Week. This increase is expected to come with stable prices that are above production costs, a welcome change after two years of poor performance. The recent market closures and the anticipated high demand when they reopen are likely to keep prices favorable for farmers. Additionally, the Easter rains have prolonged the harvesting period to early June, ensuring a larger yield of asparagus this year compared to the past.
