Jorge Rita, president of the Azores Agricultural Federation said today that the drought in the archipelago is widespread across all the islands, and in some cases, it is a ‘very worrying’ situation, especially due to the lack of water for animals. “The drought situation is very worrying on some islands. This year is atypical because, although the drought started later, it is beginning to affect some crops, more so on some islands than others”, he said.

The old adage about the Azores was that there are more cattle than people on the islands. Maybe soon tourists will outnumber the cattle?
