Forecasts predict that the weather will turn warmer in the next few days. No exceptional challenges prevail for the fig trees. The farmers are busy preparing for pollination, which is about to start. This will provide a good idea of what yields may look like at the end of June at the earliest. Yet, it should be noted that these estimates only give a first impression
