The Cherry productivity, which benefited from the strong wind that was felt in May, is expected to grow this year about 60%, according to early estimates from the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
The prospects are for a good year, with Cherry productivity, ie the amount of fruit obtained by planted, to rise considerably compared to 2014, says the INE.
After some apprehension due to the instability of time at the beginning of May, the main producing areas, the wind will have benefited from the production of this very sensitive culture to weather conditions, making a natural thinning of fruit avenged that could compromise the crop.
The peach should also register an increase in productivity of around 5%, anticipating that the current campaign will be one of the best of recent years, like the previous one, with a record high of 12 tons per hectare.
Also positive is the evolution of tomato for processing, with an expected 10% increase in planted area as well as sunflower (+ 15%), occupying some areas previously planted with corn.
The month of May was the second warmest of the last eighty-four, and the lower the average rainfall this month, especially in the regions south of the Tagus.
The combination of high temperatures with the lack of rain accelerated the maturation of winter cereals, anticipating the end of the growing cycle of the pastures and fodder.
Still hoped-board increases in the yield of winter cereals ( + 5% in wheat and barley, 10% in triticale and oats).
