Artichoke, broccoli and cabbage production in Andalusia suffers consequences of droughts

The scarcity of water and the rise in production costs will cause the artichoke harvest in the province of Seville, the main producer in the region of Andalusia, Spain, to be reduced by at least a third this year, according to the Coordinator of Artichoke Organizations. Farmers and Ranchers (COAG).

 

In Seville, crops such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and red cabbage are being severely damaged by the drought, as in Cádiz, the second largest region in hectares, and in the rest of the provinces.

 

However, producers are waiting that the rain will alleviate the situation. If it doesn't rain, a third of the production will be lost, say local farmers.
