The summer of 2020 can go down in the history of the region as one of the hottest in recent years, and the nature of Omsk did not indulge in rains, precipitation began only in August.
So, a historical record was registered even in the north of the Omsk region, in one of the traditionally coldest regions of the region - Ust-Ishimsk: in August of this year there was noted as much as +36 ° С. However, if the Omsk people enjoyed the heat, then the high temperature and low precipitation can negatively affect the cultivated plants.
At the request of the SuperOmsk portal, the agrarians made a forecast: what potato crop will be harvested in the region? According to agricultural producers, one can prepare for a shortage.
“This year the potato harvest will definitely decrease, the reason for this is the climatic conditions: intense heat, lack of precipitation. In general, the supply of potatoes in the Omsk region this year will not be XNUMX%, there will be a shortage ", - Andrey Gladkikh, head of TPK Elita-Potato LLC, answered the question of SuperOmsk.
A decrease in the volume of fees will most likely be accompanied by an increase in product prices, although the agrarians of the region do not expect a sharp rise.
