Interview with Juris Lazdiņš, Chairman of the Board of the Association “Zemnieku Saeimas”
In mid-June, due to the drought, farmers called on the government to declare a state of emergency. The Crisis Management Council did not support it a week ago, but nevertheless determined several measures to reduce the losses caused by frost and drought for farmers. What support do farmers expect after the prolonged drought and what are the current harvest forecasts for the fall? Juris Lazdiņš, chairman of the board of the association “Farmers’ Saeima”, comments on the current situation in the sector.
