October rainfalls relieve the draught situation and permit sowing - October 2005
18 November 2005

Summary
On 31 October early estimates refer to the end of the 2004/2005 agricultural year, strongly influenced by the extreme draught situation, and point to falls in production in arable crops, pome fruits, dried fruit, vine and olive grove. October rainfalls relieved the situation permitting pasture and meadow to be regenerated and sowing to be made under more favourable moist conditions as required for tillage and sprouting.
