Zirai Don Üreticiyi Vurdu! "2025 Yılında Mahsul Olmayacak! / AGRO TV HABER

The frost affected approximately 160,000 decares of land in the Erzin district of Hatay, one of Turkey's citrus production centers. Approximately 70% of the land was damaged due to an agricultural frost. The Erzin district of Hatay, a citrus production center in Turkey, accounts for approximately 15% of exports. The cold weather affecting the Eastern Mediterranean in recent weeks caused an agricultural frost. The frost caused trees to dry out in citrus orchards, which are the region's source of income. Agricultural engineer and Deputy President of the Erzin Chamber of Agriculture, Hüseyin Erdi Korkmaz, stated that citrus prices will increase in the coming period, adding that approximately 160,000 decares of land in the Erzin district suffered 70% damage. "This year, there was a five-day cold snap, and our trees suffered frost damage." Erdi Korkmaz stated that citrus trees affected by the frost will affect crop prices. "This year, there was a five-day cold snap. Our trees suffered frost damage. Erzin accounts for 15 percent of Turkey's citrus exports. Due to this situation, we inevitably expect an increase in citrus fruit prices and a significant decrease in production in 2025. This will inevitably affect exports and the domestic market. There's nothing we can do to the trees right now. We'll watch and see if they dry up or not. We'll make the necessary interventions. We're currently providing some water based on the situation. Farmers are also using water and fertilizing accordingly." "The cold front that formed in the past few days has burned and scorched all my citrus trees." Rahmi Ergörün, a 60-year-old farmer in Erzin, stated that his 400-tree citrus orchard was damaged by frost. He said, "I have a registered registrar's office in the ÇKS (Turkish Statistical Institute) for approximately 65 decares. I haven't seen any fresh leaves in my orchard yet. It's like the same trees that burn from lack of water in the summer. The cold front that formed in the past few days has burned and scorched them all. This cold weather will cost us for several years. Based on our current observations, we don't know how much has dried or how much damage has been done to the branches. We're only seeing what's visible on the leaves. Will this one sprout again? If it does this year, will the remaining green parts sprout more? I don't have much hope. I have nearly 400 citrus trees." #agrotv #agriculture #farmer 🔔 AGRO TV TURKEY Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Wz5Jxm 🔔 AGRO TV TURKEY Instagram: https://bit.ly/3Wz66Ig 🔔 AGRO TV TURKEY Twitter: https://bit.ly/3jkZkrd 🔔 Website: https://www.agrotv.com.tr/ The World's Agriculture Screen 🌍 Agro TV
