Planting in the main growing regions proceeded according to schedule. Although the weather slowed initial development in some places, the application of modern cultivation technologies enabled the stands to strengthen successfully. Irrigation infrastructure played a key role in ensuring that the plants could develop under suitable conditions even during drier periods.
Currently, healthy, well-conditioned stands can be observed in the production areas. Overall, plant development is progressing favorably, and fruit setting is also proceeding as expected. Growers are ensuring optimal growing conditions through continuous crop monitoring and targeted interventions.
By demonstrating their professional preparedness, our producers have successfully ensured the necessary conditions for crop development despite the challenging weather conditions, thereby contributing to a stable raw material supply for the processing industry. Although final results will also be influenced by weather conditions in the remaining part of the season, based on the development stage and condition of the plant stands, we can look forward to the 2026 harvest period with optimistic expectations.
