Turkey’s producers, experiencing the most severe agricultural frost event in recent years, are deeply concerned. The agricultural frost that occurred in the Eastern Black Sea region due to dropping temperatures adversely affected tea following hazelnuts. Producers are anticipating a significant decrease in this year’s tea yield. Turkey faced the most severe agricultural frost event in recent years. Fruit and vegetable gardens across the country suffered extensive damage, compounding the losses of farmers. Below-average temperatures and snowfall in the Eastern Black Sea region negatively impacted agricultural products. The cold weather affected not only blooming hazelnuts but also newly sprouting tea gardens. The harvest period is expected to be extended due to the freezing of newly sprouting tea leaves, resulting in a loss of yield due to agricultural frost. Red spots that appeared in the gardens were captured from the air. Bunyamin Arslan, President of Rize Chamber of Agriculture, mentioned that agricultural frost was more prevalent in improperly fertilized gardens. Arslan stated that they expect a decrease in tea harvest in the region after the agricultural frost and added, “There are serious frost injuries in the coastal and some high-altitude areas at the moment. Agricultural frost prolongs and delays the harvest period. As tissues are damaged, it will extend the harvest time. I don’t think we can obtain the tea that had its fourth harvest last year this year. Even though the full reports are not completed, we expect a yield decrease between 2% and 3% approximately. This means we may experience a loss of approximately 150,000 to 200,000 tons of yield.” Arslan emphasized that improper fertilization can increase the effects of agricultural frost and stated, “Our farmers must fertilize correctly against agricultural frost. As far as I observed, the occurrence of agricultural frost is very high in fertilized areas. I think incorrect fertilization is one of the factors of agricultural frost.” Tea producer Osman Terzi, mentioning that the fresh sprouting teas burned, said, “It snowed untimely. After snow, it frosted. Our freshly sprouted tea was completely burned. This is an economic loss for us.” Tea producer Nizamettin Terzi also shared, “After the recent snowfall, besides fruits and vegetables, all the tea burned. It caused the tea to be harvested a month later. We would have harvested tea on May 5th, but I estimate we will only harvest the first flush by June 5th.” Hanife Terzi expressed, “It snowed. It turned to ice, frosted. Our teas burned. Our fruits burned. Nothing is left. We are currently in a difficult situation.”
