Many vegetable growers are also concerned about their yield, Vandamme emphasizes, although most vegetables that were sown or planted in the spring did get off to a good start.
“The farmer who doesn’t see the rain tries to irrigate, but there is hardly any water available, so that crops are withered in the field. The potatoes are also starting to suffer due to the drought and very high temperatures. then really goes into a stress reaction and accelerates to ripening. That is not positive for the size of, for example, potatoes, carrots and cauliflowers, they just stop growing. So there are some concerns. If there is no precipitation, it is not there good for different crops.”
