Krasnodar Krai Frost Raises Concerns for 2025 Harvest
Unusually severe frosts hit Krasnodar Krai last week, reaching -26°C in places—a 40-year low for February. While heavy snow protected many winter crops, 6,000 hectares of crops suffered damage, potentially impacting the 2025 harvest, and fertilization has been delayed.
