Costa
Rica:
Low
Temperatures
Cause
Pineapples
To
Fruit
Early
The
regional
director
for
Ministerio
de
Agricultura
y
Ganadería
(MAG),
Erick
Quirós
adverted
that
agricultural
products
like
banana
and
especially
the
pine
will
be
affected
more
by
the
excess
of
cold
than
by
the
excess
of
water.
The
regional
headquarters
for
MAG
in
Caribbean
describes
that
some
rivers
broke
their
banks
but
returned
to
normal,
saving
harvests
form
a
certain
flooding.
Low
temperatures
reported
at
the
begin
of
the
previous
weekend,
left
a
deeper
and
more
harmful
mark,
specially
on
pineapples,
since
it
caused
the
early
blossoming
of
fruits.
The
phenomena
is
called
pineapples
natural
appearance
and
the
consequence
will
be
reflected
on
sales,
since
by
being
earlier,
the
fruit
will
be
smaller
and
cheaper.
Many
will
lose
as
the
impact
on
the
producers
pockets
is
not
encouraging.
The
Chamber
of
Pineapple
Producers
of
Costa
Rica
affirmed
that
it's
still
early
to
know
how
many
acres
are
affected,
but
by
mid
February
it
will
be
possible
to
know
exactly. |
