In the Loiret, producers are worried after the wave of frost that has just hit France.
Even if the results of the cold wave look less catastrophic than in 2021, there will still be significant losses, explained France Bleu Orléans.
Difficult, for the moment, to draw up a definitive assessment.
Resigned farmers
“We may have avoided the worst, but we will wait the next fortnight or even three weeks to see what comes out,” said a winemaker from Cléry-Saint-André (Loiret).
In Saint-Hilaire (Loiret), a cherry producer hoped to do “at least half a harvest” this year.
It had lost 90% of its production in 2021,
The accumulation of these two bad years worries the producers.
The winegrower, for example, fears finding herself without stock.
“In 2020, I made 45,000 bottles.
In 2021, I made 600. That will be enough to sell this year, but next year, with that, we have nothing left, ”she testified.
