“In the past 25 years, I have not experienced a similar event,” says Rainer Moritz, head of the Office of Agriculture Offenburg. For many businesses, the sub-zero temperatures following the warm temperatures in March mean “a moderate disaster,” as what had already sprouted or bloomed has completely frozen in some areas. The range of damage is also “between five and 100 percent” in Poland, Italy, and France. In addition to fruit trees and grapevines, corn plants and nuts have also been severely damaged. Higher raw material prices are already expected in late autumn.
