According to the spring assessment of the condition of agricultural and gardening crops, the course of winter generally conducive to maintaining good condition of shrubs and fruit trees. However, as the experts of the Credit Agricole bank indicate, The lack of frosty winter has led to a larger scale of plant pests.
“This year's vegetation began in the conditions clear water deficit. In turn, in April and May, they occurred in a large area of the country frosts that led to damage to flowers and already tied fruit” – they comment.

What about vegetable collections?
The study reads that the problem can also be with vegetables. According to the spring assessment of the condition of agricultural and gardening crops, this year's vegetable sowing was difficult by relatively low temperatures and a water deficit in soil. Simultaneously The lack of adequate rainfall caused a slowdown, as well as the weakness of the emergence of vegetables.

CA experts point out that in the second half of April and in May in many regions, agrometeorological conditions were also unfavorable due to precipitation deficiency, which limited the development of plants and reduced the effectiveness of fertilization. “For this reason we see An important risk that this year's vegetable harvest will be below the many years “.

Situation abroad and prices of fruit and vegetables
“Agromapa” suggests that the expected collections in the north countries (Germany, France, Benelux) will be limited in Poland by low spring rainfall, while In the states of the South (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece), heavy yields are expected to be well -related yields.
“As a consequence, it can be expected that This year's lower national production of fruit and vegetables will be partially compensated by increased imports” – evaluate economists.
Due to the promising weak harvest of both fruit and vegetables in the coming months expect an increase in annual price dynamics in these categories. They believe that we can deal with greater pressure on price increases in the case of fruit, where the decline in harvesting may prove to be greater.
