Seceta a generat pierderi de aproximativ 29 de milioane de tone de producție agricolă în ultimii patru ani, În România. Modelul altor mari puteri agricole în luptă cu natura - Economica.net

Recent data from the Ministry of Agriculture indicates that drought has affected around 24,000 hectares in Romania this year, a significant decrease from 628,000 hectares last year. Over four consecutive years of drought, cumulative losses have reached approximately 29 million tons of agricultural production. Romanian farmers are urging the government to establish a comprehensive water management system and mandatory crop insurance. They highlight successful models from Spain, Italy, and Turkey that could be adapted to mitigate drought impacts. The Club of Romanian Farmers emphasizes the need for a unified approach to water management and risk management in agriculture, supported by data-driven policies. Additionally, European funds are available to assist farmers facing production losses due to drought, with the EU increasing advance payments to 70%.
