Farmers in Plana Baixa are facing an increasingly worrying situation: the increase in damage caused by wild boars on citrus farms. These animals not only consume the fruit directly from the trees, but also cause damage to branches, irrigation systems and agricultural structures, generating significant economic losses for the sector. According to the latest alerts, their attacks have intensified significantly, affecting both small producers and cooperatives in the area.
An economic, environmental and safety issue
Beyond the direct damage to citrus production, the uncontrolled spread of wild boars poses an additional risk to people and the environment. The increase in traffic accidents involving these animals has put local authorities on alert, while the possibility of disease transmission is raising concerns among agricultural professionals. The situation calls for effective measures and increased resources for wildlife control.
