Câmpuri întregi din Oltenia cu pepeni și vinete aruncate. Recoltarea a ajuns să coste atât de mult, că fermierii au abandonat culturile

In Oltenia, farmers are abandoning watermelon and vegetable crops due to low prices and lack of buyers, leading to significant losses. The mayor of Calarasi reported that nearly 30% of the first watermelon crop and 80% of the second have been left unharvested. Rising labor costs make harvesting unfeasible, and intermediaries dominate the market. Additionally, high temperatures are damaging other crops like eggplants and peppers, further exacerbating the situation. Farmers plan to clear their fields to prepare for future planting.
