Hurricane and storm disasters are causing significant losses in the agricultural sector. Pistachio producers in Siirt are facing serious challenges this year due to extreme heat and drought.

Producers report yield declines of up to 50% compared to last year. Pistachio producer Selahattin Kayran states, "Severe burns occurred in our pistachios due to drought and extreme heat."

Kayran summarizes the situation by saying, "We expected to harvest 10 tons, but this year we can only get 1-2 tons."

The impact of drought and extreme heat is felt not only in pistachios but also in wheat and other crops. Farmers emphasize the need for insurance to mitigate these issues.

Climate change and extreme weather events threaten sustainability in agriculture. Farmers should be supported to overcome these challenges.
