What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Powdery mildew is causing serious problems for the remaining table grape crop in Kavala. The disease causes the fruit stem to turn black, often making harvesting pointless. Table grape exports from June 1 to September 25 reached 21,240 tons, a 14% decrease compared to the previous season's reduced exports. Packers in the area are reporting low stocks due to storage issues caused by the widespread mildew.
