Frost demanded a high tax, fruit growers in some places were left completely empty-handed
Immediate assistance to countries is necessary, warn the Agricultural and Forestry Proceedings of Slovenia (KGZS). “Fruit growers have never known each other in such a very difficult situation. On the one hand, we still have full refrigerators of last year’s apples and pears, which are very difficult to sell, and on the other hand, we recommend empty orchards due to frost in early April. , “ the dramatic situation in fruit growing was summarized for the last time on the website of the KGZS press conferences by the chairman of their fruit growing committee Boris Orešek.
Some crops could be saved by those fruit growers who sprayed their plantations, and in some places burning or smoking. Fruit specialist at the Novo mesto Agricultural and Forestry Institute Andreja Brence he pointed out that thus all these measures to a certain extent only have effects, which have limitations, which this time represented in particular an extremely low temperature for this time, which in some places dropped to about minus ten degrees Celsius.
According to the data of the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, irrigation systems are arranged in our country from 100 to 120 hectares of orchards, which is less than three percent of all intensive plantations, said the coordinator of public services in fruit growing at the institute. Matej Stopar.
In connection with the establishment of irrigation systems, which have once again proved to be very effective protection against frost, agricultural advisers pointed out bureaucratic obstacles to the realization of such investments. Vasja Juretič from the Agricultural and Forestry Institute Nova Gorica reminded of the problems with the Vogršček irrigation system, which is in the rehabilitation phase and is currently not in use.
Žveglič: Urgent adoption of the law on irrigation and sprinkling
President of KGZS Roman Žveglič Due to the resulting critical sizes in the fruit industry, he advocated the immediate support of countries for fruit growing. “The sooner the government realizes that there will be no food without agriculture, the easier it will be for us to make changes and new adjustments,” he said. he said.
The chamber is preparing several proposals, which are still being coordinated, but Žveglič, among other things, called for the adoption of an intervention law, which the preparation has already been announced by the Ministry of Agriculture. According to Žveglič, it is also necessary to adopt a law on irrigation and sprinkling, which would simplify obtaining all permits, and according to Orešek, sprinkling should be enabled in all areas where enough water is available.
The KGZS also demands that all sectoral aid to agriculture that beneficiaries receive at this time due to the covida-19 epidemic be exempted from taxation. According to the proceedings, new forms of insurance for catastrophic damage should also be considered.
In order for fruit growing to survive the next two years, Orešek offers direct financial support to all fruit farms in the fruit company to maintain production, write off some levies and rents, waive water payments, loan rescheduling options and remove administrative barriers for direct sellers, especially proposals.
For those whose dangers have not even passed this year in terms of weather forecasts, agricultural advisers use amino acid and algae-based preparations to strengthen plants in accordance with the listed manufacturers. But even this is a relatively large cost, they warn at KGZS.
