Canicula pune agricultura la pământ: roșii, ardei și castraveți distruși de temperaturile extreme

Extreme heat is devastating Romanian agriculture, leading to significant crop losses and waste. Farmers report that many vegetables, including tomatoes and cucumbers, are being discarded due to the harsh conditions. Despite a surplus of produce, prices are expected to rise due to import pressures. The lack of irrigation infrastructure exacerbates the situation, with many farmers considering abandoning their fields. Romania loses over 1.5 billion euros annually due to inadequate storage and processing facilities for fruits and vegetables.
