Niagara’s Fruit Industry in Peril | Toronto News
Description
Torrential rains in Ontario’s Niagara region have triggered catastrophic flooding, threatening up to 40% of peach trees—and nectarines, cherries, and grapes too. With waterlogged soil crippling stone fruits and vineyards, farmers face delayed damage assessments and looming price hikes for consumers. Climate change isn’t helping: warmer temps speed ripening, alter flavor, and invite new pests. Canada’s unique fruit-growing climate demands resilient varieties—but research funding is shrinking, risking the future of homegrown quality produce.
