Cold Snap Affects Harvest

Published on 22nd February, 2005

The unusually cold weather that we suffered the other week has had a disastrous effect on the harvest of the níspero, a small yellow fruit which is cultivated locally. Farmers reckon that they have lost 60% of the harvest this year which would normally be gathered in May. However it's not just the farmers who will suffer as every year between 4 and 6 thousand people come to the area to work as temporary níspero pickers at harvest time and this year around 3000 of them won't get work.
