The campaign of strawberries is judged negative

The campaign of strawberries ends in Huelva region.

The President of Freshuelava, the Strawberry Growers Association, finds that there was no campaign as negative as that of this year. In the region that represents 90% of strawberry production in Spain, the Association reveals that nearly 60% of companies did not cover their production costs. The future is uncertain for many.

This bad season began with adverse weather conditions, lots of rains in February in March and April have compromised the quality of the fruit. Then the heat was too late. International consumption fell sharply causing the drop in prices.
