Greek Farmers Struggle as Drought Devastates Chestnut Crop | DRM News | AL1G

Greek chestnut farmers face a crisis due to extreme weather conditions, with yields dropping drastically. Anestis Altinis, a third-generation farmer, notes that chestnut production has plummeted from 500 tonnes to just 40-50 tonnes in his village. High temperatures, droughts, and late blooming due to climate change have led to a significant decline in crops, impacting Greece's agricultural output. With future forecasts predicting increased crop and fruit prices due to climate impacts, farmers are calling for better irrigation support to prevent rural depopulation.
