What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Chamber of Agriculture reported that fruit and vegetable harvests in Austria are down 30 and 40 percent, respectively, due to prolonged heat and drought during the summer. Specific crops, including white cabbage, saw losses of up to 50 percent in certain regions. The country experienced its hottest summer on record, with temperatures averaging 2.6 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average, and rainfall was approximately one-third below average nationwide. The drought also resulted in a shortage of animal feed and a rise in livestock slaughter figures in August.
