Residents of the administrative unit of Kurjan in the municipality of Roskovec, one of the main crops they cultivate and provide their income with is olives. But this year, this crop seems to be leaving the residents of at least 4 villages in the lurch, as production is predicted to be low.
One of the main factors, according to the area's homesteaders, is the extreme weather conditions. This fact is also confirmed by the agricultural specialist at the Kurjan administrative unit, writes A2 CNN.
Directly dependent on weather conditions, the residents of the area indicate that there is a complete lack of an irrigation sewer system, even though they are surrounded by reservoirs. Infrastructure and of course the prices of pesticides are seen as problems that aggravate the economic situation of growers. This area, according to data from the regional directorate of agriculture, has over 300 thousand olive trees. (A2 Televizion)
