"35% fewer Dutch and Belgian cherries expected"
For two weeks now, tasty cherries have been back in farm stalls along country roads in the Netherlands. "They're of outstanding quality this year, but there are fewer kilos. That's due to frost and poor pollination because of the wet weather during the flowering period. Especially the early varieties are suffering," says grower and trader Aart Blom of Fruitpartners Blom.
