Yumaklı stated that weather conditions worsened particularly between April 10 and 12, with temperatures dropping to as low as -15°C. Snowfall and hail were also observed in several areas.
“In certain regions, we recorded the lowest temperatures in the past three decades. Unfortunately, this is the first time since 2014 that we’ve faced such destructive frost. This has been a major challenge for the agricultural sector,” he wrote.
The minister added that crops such as apricots, walnuts, grapes, onions, and potatoes were affected. He assured that the government is preparing support measures for the impacted farmers.
