Spain expected to produce the lowest volume of fruit in 40 years

Spain is expected to produce its lowest volume of fruit in the last 40 years due to frost that hit its fruit-production regions in early April1, 2, especially the Ebro Valley – one of Europe’s most important producing areas of sweet fruit.

Manel Simon, the general director of the Catalan fruit association – Afrucat, said producers must plan their summer very well in the face of this decrease in production, adding that he hoped Spanish companies would prioritize exporting their production to the closest destinations and that there would be a significant decrease in exports to the third countries.3

Expectations are that priority will be given to those large buyers who take into account the quality of the product and the 35-45% increase in production costs there’s been this year, much to the detriment of speculative destinations that are only interested in prices.

According to Afrucat, there will be a lower impact on apples and pears, as the frost didn’t affect this crop that much and farmers were able to apply treatments.

Global Warming or Human Incompetence

Neither. Genocidal intent.

Well, globull warming can actually cause cold snaps. You see, with the warming air, you have to put the cold air somewhere. It’s been found that that cold air actually accumulates around warm weather crops. I know it seems counter intuitive and confusing, but you have to trust them on this. But if you just do what you are told and pay more in taxes, we can come together as one happy people and totally avoid it all.

Anyone see a rider on a black horse. Think the horses name is Famine.

The goal here is 3 to 3.5 billion dead, planetary depopulation. The Thanos effect.

Sounds like a corollary to the rule that tornadoes seem to be attracted to trailer parks.

Yup, been there, seen that. I was snowed on in Avila in April. Rather surprising.
