Tomato prices skyrocket in Greece due to drought

In Greece, tomato prices have soared as a prolonged drought affects key growing areas, including Ierapetra in Crete.

The drought has led to delayed planting or, in some cases, fields not being planted at all.

According to Michalis Viannitakis, the secretary of Ierapetra's agricultural cooperative, the main issue behind the rising tomato prices is the drought, which has discouraged many farmers from planting at the usual time.

As winter approaches, the likelihood of rain increases, but the effects of the drought are already being felt.

Additionally, a shortage of labour on the farms has exacerbated the problem, contributing further to the soaring prices of tomatoes in the region.
