FM: agriculture's second quarter weakness is due to individual effects
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, behind the second quarter’s weak agricultural performance individual effects can be found. The long-term prospects for the industry remain favorable.
The Ministry of Agriculture (FM) said on Friday in a statement that the effects of summer heat and drought can be detected in the sector second quarter GDP data.
