Moroccan exporters are facing low vegetable prices in France, along with a heat wave that is affecting the quality of their products. Abderrazak Mouisset, president of the Fruit and Vegetable Producers Association, says the current conditions will have an adverse affect, particularly on the coloring of clementines. The harvest started a week later than last year because temperatures affected the ground water supply. The delay particularly impacted exports to Canada. (Albawaba.com)
