WA growers feel impacts of ex-Tropical Cyclone Mitchell and severe heat waves

Banana growers in Carnarvon have been dealt severe blows from Mother Nature, with the growing region reporting up to 40-50% crop loss from ex-Tropical Cyclone Mitchell. Extreme heatwaves preceded the cyclone, with top temperatures of 49 degrees reported to be “cooking” fruit and plants.

The last major cyclone to impact the region was Tropical Cyclone Olywn in 2015, which completely devastated crops in the region.

Our thoughts are with the banana growing community in Western Australia as they take stock, begin the clean-up and ready themselves for recovery.
