Austria: Drought Threatens Austrian Agriculture and Foresty

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Many Austrian regions have not received sufficient rain; spring 2020 is one of the driest on record. The lack of precipitation in combination with increased average temperatures and large temperature differences between night and day negatively impact plant germination and development. The most affected are sugar beets, rapeseed, grassland, forests, and vineyards; fodder or animal feed will be severely impacted. To what degree yields will be negatively affected depends on future precipitation and other weather conditions.
