Rain May not change the weak stage-setting for current campaign of winter cereals - May 2009
19 June 2009

Summary

On 31 May, early estimates point to a widespread decrease of the winter cereals yields, as a result of low rainfall accumulated. The spring sowings took place normally, however there is a decrease on the maize area. In orchards, the productivity of cherries increased, but not the quality, due to a large proportion of fruits with fissures, with impact on power conservation and commercial value.
