According to a statement issued yesterday, unseasonably severe night frosts occurred earlier in the month, between April 6 and 9, damaging flowering orchards across the country.

The chamber noted that agricultural damage must typically be reported within 15 days of the incident.

However, as this period overlaps with the single application submission period, the reporting deadline has been extended to May 31, NAK added.

According to the most recent weather forecasts, late-spring frosts are unlikely in the remaining part of April.
