Alemania: Interim result before the harvest: Losses of 60 Million Euro
According to Vereinigte Hagel, the overall damage amounts to around 60 Million Euro: That’s the interim result shortly before the start of this year’s harvest and before the beginning of the month of July, with the most damage.
All kinds of cultivation were affected: classic agriculture with grains, canola, corn, potatoes, pulses, but also fruits, vegetables and wine. The losses were caused by hail, storms, strong rainfalls and frost (esp. for wine and fruits).
The days with the biggest losses so far:
• 30 Mln. EUR – June 22nd, 2017 (cyclone Paul)
• 10 Mln. EUR – May 30th 2017
• 10 Mln. EUR – May 19th 2017
All other days which caused damages amount to overall 10 million Euro. Around five million Euro was spent on damage control for strawberries and viticulture. These damages illustrate once again, how important it is to prepare for weather-related perils.
e’s a specific commitment that the EU supplies seed potatoes tariff and quota free, but there is a reciprocal agreement that we take 250,000 tariff-free tonnes of ware potatoes from Egypt.”
“It’s quite clear the UK will not want to take that full quota, so we will have to enter into some form of negotiation.”
The advice came during a live panel session broadcast by AHDB as it took stock of the situation for UK agriculture and horticulture one year on from the referendum.
