Vineyards of the company Orion in the Odessa region are experiencing drought stress this year, Pivden reported. "This year, the drought has had a very strong impact, with only 200 mm of precipitation. Therefore, we are mainly dealing with the situation through drip irrigation," Atmazhov explained. Some workers have left the region or are serving in the Armed Forces, while fewer young people are entering the agricultural sector. Despite these constraints, the harvest season has begun, and grapes from southern Odessa are already available on the Ukrainian market.
