Like last year, the ice has quickly damaged the Irulegi vineyards
- The ice has once again caused major disorders in Iparralde. More than half of the vineyards in Irulegi have been damaged since last week in the area.
Cooperative President Irulegian Sotoa, Olivier Martin, has reported the reality Kazeta.eus to the media: "It's catastrophic. (...) Some think they have lost 90% of the harvest. It's much stronger than last year." Early estimates suggest that ice has burned more than half of the vineyards that have been used. In March last year there were losses due to frost in the Panticosa area in Navarre.
Last week there was an intense cold in the Behe Nafarroa area, in Lapurdi and in Zuberoa. Like the Irulegi vineyard, the Itsasu cherry could also have suffered accelerated damage, which will be affected in the coming weeks. Horticulturists have also expressed concern that some of the plants that have been burned by areas are burned by ice.
EUR 20 million to cover the damage
Prime Minister Jean Castex has announced that he will allocate EUR 20 million to the farmers concerned. On 5 April he announced the decision of the Ertzaintza to visit a farm where he is working. In addition, the French Government will put in place a mechanism to prevent damage and will also pay the social contributions paid by farmers to French public coffers.
