The cold wave that swept across Paran\u00e1 between June 23 and 25 raised the alarm about possible losses in corn, wheat, vegetable and pasture crops. Low temperatures affected crops in different stages of development. Given this scenario, the Faep System advises the affected municipalities to report the incidents in order to access resources. Rural unions can assist in this process.<\/p>\n

The cold front was concentrated especially in the eastern half of the state, with a strong incidence in the Central-South, Southeast, Campos Gerais, Metropolitan Region of Curitiba (RMC) and coastal regions. According to the\u00a0Paran\u00e1 Meteorological System (Simepar)<\/a>, in the early hours of the 25th, the lowest temperatures of the year were recorded in at least 29 municipalities. In 20 of them, the thermometers marked negative values. \u201cRural producers in Paran\u00e1 have demonstrated countless times their ability to overcome adverse weather conditions. At this time, it is essential to monitor the impacts and seek measures to reduce losses in the field\u201d, says \u00c1gide Eduardo Meneguette, interim president of the Faep System.<\/p>\n

According to Bruno Vizioli, from the entity's Technical and Economic Department (DTE), work is already underway to estimate the extent of the damage. \u201cThe estimated losses are 30% for corn and 20% to 25% for wheat. Vegetables and coffee, being more sensitive, may suffer losses of over 90% when hit by intense frosts,\u201d says the technician, highlighting that the impact varies according to the development stage of the crops and the intensity of the cold.<\/p>\n

In the North and Northwest, the Cocamar Agroindustrial Cooperative's weather stations recorded temperatures of zero degrees in municipalities such as Sertan\u00f3polis, Tamarana, Doutor Camargo, Apucarana, Sab\u00e1udia, Ipor\u00e3 and Primeiro de Maio. In Maring\u00e1, the minimum was -1.4\u00b0C; in Ivatuba, -1.9\u00b0C; in Camb\u00e9, -1.8\u00b0C; and in Floresta and the district of Serrinha, in Londrina, -1\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

In the Iva\u00ed Valley, the president of the Ivaipor\u00e3 Rural Union, Marco Antonio Esqui\u00e7ato, reports that the frost hit the region twice. \u201cOn the 23rd we had a light frost, but on the 24th it was much stronger,\u201d he says. Wheat, grown on around 25 thousand hectares in the region of the municipalities served by the union, has 25% of the area in susceptible phases, such as booting and flowering. Corn, grown on 30 to 35 thousand hectares, may also record losses of up to 25% of the area, according to data from Coamo Agroindustrial Cooperativa. \u201cThe losses are still being assessed. We will only know more precisely whether there was stem abortion in the coming days,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

According to Cocamar, the cold also affected pastures in practically the entire state, especially among livestock farmers who still depend on native pasture. Horticulture also suffered, with more severe losses for producers of leafy vegetables and fruits that are sensitive to cold.<\/p>\n

Given the scenario, the Faep System guides municipalities that have recorded damage or losses caused by frost regarding the procedures for recording occurrences: without declaring or continuing the process with a declaration of a state of emergency.<\/p>\n

Check the specific guidelines for each case:<\/p>\n
