Asparagus farmers in Germany are grappling with significant challenges due to prolonged drought conditions. In Lower Saxony, concerns mount over the potential impact on harvest quality and output.
Despite stable prices this season, the specter of drought looms large, particularly as March 2025 recorded one of the driest spells in history. The situation is compounded by rising labor costs and increased competition from cheaper green asparagus imports.

The government is stepping in with support and advice, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable agricultural practices.
