The outlook for the 2021 Uruguayan campaign is very favourable, with quality and production volumes expected to be similar to last year.
According to Nicolás Jaume, director of communications at the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries, earlier reports of extensive losses sustained after heavy winds and hailstorms have been greatly exaggerated. 
“Damage from last December’s hail was quite localised,” he told
Fruitnet. “Inspections carried out by the General Directorate of Agricultural Services showed around 77ha with severe damage, including fruit drop, loss of foliage and significant skin marking; 10ha with medium damage and a further 139ha with some cosmetic damage.”
