The abnormally warm weather at the end of January and at the beginning of February led to an early awakening of nature and the consequent flowering of certain types of fruit trees. Almonds, apricots and cherries sprouted in southern and central Uzbekistan, while in the north they were ready to bloom.
This flowering and the predicted sharp temperature decrease are likely to result in the loss of part of the future harvest.
EastFruit interviewed gardeners, farmers and specialists from the Fergana Valley, Bukhara, Samarkand and Surkhandarya regions of Uzbekistan on how they assess the risks of loss of future harvest. The first three regions provide almost 70% of the fruits and berries produced in the republic.
