Chamber of Agriculture: less asparagus will be produced this year

There will be about 30 percent less asparagus to be grown this year, but even harvesting and selling will cause problems for growers due to labor problems and a shrinking market – the National Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) told MTI on Wednesday.

Asparagus, one of the earliest fresh produce of the spring period, has already appeared in stores. Thanks to the mild winter, the harvest of so-called faded – white – asparagus covered with foil began in early March this year. (MTI)
