The rains devastated 400 hectares cultivated with strawberries in Guanajuato. Irapuato was the most affected municipality, with nearly 200 hectares affected.
There were also losses in strawberry crops in Penjamo, Abasolo, Dolores Hidalgo, and Acambaro, stated the regional leader of the National Peasant Confederation (CNC) of Guanajuato, Cuauhtemoc Prado Nava. In addition, producers in these areas face a serious crisis due to the poor quality of imported plants and the pests that afflict them.
