Turkey suffered one of its worst agricultural cold snaps in more than a decade in April, with sharp drops in temperatures damaging crops across the country.
“We’ve gone through one of the most severe freezes since 2014,” as temperatures fell below -15 degrees Celsius in some regions in the past three days, Turkish Agriculture Minister Ibrahim Yumakli said in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
