In southern Ukraine's Odessa region, high-tech greenhouse growers explore crop alternatives due to climate shifts. Almond cultivation emerges as an option according to Agronews.
Almond crops show resilience against the region's drought, heavy rainfall, and hail. They offer stability against traditional cherries and apricots, the latter suffering 50-70% yield losses under harsh conditions.
Cultivating almonds sidesteps the need for mandatory irrigation and chemical treatments. However, risks include potential dealings with unscrupulous seedling vendors.
