Spain's Drought Crisis: Impact on Water Supply and Olive Oil Prices

Spain is facing a severe water crisis due to a long-term drought and an unusually warm and dry winter, with water reservoirs at less than 25% of their capacity in some regions. Spanish farmers are among the first to suffer the consequences of a water shortage, with 60% of non-irrigated cereal crops affected. Environmentalists say Spanish farming practices are part of the problem, and the country needs to rethink its water management system and reduce irrigated areas. The United Nations has already warned that almost 75% of the country is in the process of desertification.
