Spring frost and May storms have caused significant damage to fruit yields in Serbia, especially cherries and sour cherries. There is a possibility of recovery in raspberry and blueberry yields, which could save the fruit season. Agro-economist Milan Prostran, in the Blic Dan show, analyzes the current situation and recovery possibilities, as well as challenges in increasing domestic production and exports. Support measures for fruit growers, including the formation of risk funds, are also discussed. Fruit prices in markets are under pressure due to reduced yields.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning sources emphasize the impact of climate change on agriculture, highlighting the need for government intervention and support for small farmers. They focus on the social and economic hardships faced by fruit growers and advocate for stronger safety nets and subsidies.
Center: Center-leaning sources provide a balanced view, reporting on the damage caused by natural events and the economic implications. They highlight expert analysis and discuss potential recovery strategies and market impacts without strong political bias.
Right: Right-leaning sources focus on the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of fruit growers, emphasizing market solutions and the importance of export opportunities. They may downplay the role of government intervention, stressing instead private sector initiatives and risk management.
