Experts from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development say that the recent hailstorms and heavy rains have caused significant damage to crops in some regions of the country.

According to experts, one of the most efficient solutions to manage climate risk and prevent damage caused by frequent and unpredictable climate changes is the installation of anti-hail nets to protect production.

Farmers have been assisted over the years for protection and production, thanks to the support schemes offered to them, while agricultural experts suggest as another alternative solution the insurance of farms with an insurance company, which undertakes compensation in case of damage from natural phenomena.

Today, the use of anti-hail nets allows farmers to maintain a continuous supply to the market by reducing the risk of production loss. They also ensure increased quality, minimize damage and reduce agro-technical expenses, etc.

According to data from the Directorates of Agriculture, in Korça and Dibra region, more than 40% of farmers have invested in anti-hail nets, for the management of climatic risk in agriculture, in addition to the expansion of orchards./j.p/r.e/p.s./
