Belgian fruit growers will once again produce fewer apples and pears this year. This is evident from the estimates by sectoral organisations, based on a survey of around one hundred Belgian fruit-growing companies. The expected harvest amounts to 166 million kilograms of apples and 364 million kilograms of pears, both below average. Poor weather conditions are the main contributing factor.

      perhaps not labour availability, as climate change will drive tens to hundreds of millions our way 😀

      EDIT: silly me, that also counts as ‘impacted’ :)
