Given the low temperatures in the region, crops could be affected, which is a cause for concern for those who are dedicated to agricultural activities, mainly in the high parts of the mountains.
It has even been reported that coffee plantations could be affected, since the fall of candelilla has been reported.
Producers from towns such as Peña Blanca, San Martín and Tampate, where thermometers reached alarmingly low levels, indicated that their coffee and banana crops are the most vulnerable to the low temperatures that continue, but it will be necessary to wait for the climate to stabilize and evaluate how serious the damage has been.
Farmers in the region, as well as in Aquismón, remain attentive to the weather conditions because these frosts could impact not only food production, but would also affect the economy of families that depend on these activities, for which reason they consider that they will seek support from government agencies, after knowing the damage caused.
It can be considered that if temperatures below zero have already been recorded, it is already considered a contingency, so it will be necessary to carry out a detailed analysis, and request that meetings be held and together with the authorities that the producers make known the magnitude of the effects.
The fear of coffee growers is that many were just trying to recover and with these temperatures they will face losses once again, because temperatures were recorded quite low compared to recent years.
