Spain: 25% drop in Cuenca's onion production

This will not be a good year for the province of Cuenca's onion campaign. A few days before it finishes, UPA informed that production volumes this year will drop by around 25%. 

UPA blames these losses on the government's water policy, which in the past two years has resulted in a 50% fall in production, but also on the low temperatures in May and June, which combined with the rains in March have prevented the product from completing its ripening process.
