Bad weather conditions including hailstorms affected several regions of the country. Harvests have started but professionals anticipate a significant reduction in the production of mandarins.

 

Nationwide, mandarin production should be reduced by around 30 to 40%. Depending on the areas, the losses compared to last year could reach 30 to 40% in the areas of Neochori (Theassalie) and Arta (Epirus) and even 50% in some areas of Thesprotia (Epirus).
