The reason is the weather conditions in recent months - lack of rainfall and extremely high temperatures accompanied by strong southerly winds. Another problem is market uncertainty and the prices of agricultural produce on the market.

District agricultural administrations are overwheled with requests for checks from producers affected by the adverse weather conditions.
