Nagpur, Sep. 16 : Poor weather conditions and an untimely rainfall witnessed in the Vidharbha region this year have created problems for the orange producers in Nagpur.
The worst affected have been the people growing the famous Nagri Oranges. Despite the large fields being full of orange trees, there are almost no fruits available this year. Fruits have either fallen off the trees or not grown at different places here.
These orange growers and farmers are faced with a dilemma of arranging fruits for the market and regular buyers ahead of the upcoming Diwali festival. Usually, before Diwali, at least one harvest is already supplied.
