Palma.—The Majorcan potato harvest has barely kicked off, but early predictions already show the production percentage has already slumped by half.
Local farmers are concerned with the figures, blaming the frost and the cold winds which have hit the island over the past few months for the decline.
The official beginning of the season was yesterday but by the time the harvest began the land was still too wet for the machines to collect the crop.
