The mud caused by the rains affects crops such as potato and cantaloupe in the Mar Menor area | Radio Cartagena

The close to 200 litres per square metre have fallen these days in the area of the Mar Menor is doing the work of harvesting and planting of crops is carried out with a lot of problems because of the mud that has accumulated in the field.

Santiago Pérez, president of the Association of Small and Medium-sized Farmers in the Field of Cartagena, says that the crops most affected are the potato that is having a hard time to gather it up, and the melon is planting at the wrong time and that can cause problems in the markets.

The president of PROAGUA claims that this large amount of water that is accumulating in the earth can also cause “plagues of mosquitoes that until now had never been seen.”
