Ngakhale pali zovuta zomwe zimadza chifukwa cha kasupe wozizira kwambiri kuposa wapakati, gawo la mbatata ku Ireland likusangalala ndi nyengo. kugulitsa kwapang'onopang'ono komanso kugwiritsa ntchito nyumba mokhazikika. Nyengo yozizira yathandiza kuthandizira kufunikira kwa mbatata m'mabanja m'dziko lonselo, pomwe kusintha kwaposachedwa kwamalonda amalesitilanti panthawiyi sabata ya tchuthi ku banki ndi zizindikiro zina za kuchira kwa gawo lazakudya.
Malinga ndi Irish Farmers' Association (IFA), kubzala kwa Mbatata zoyambirira za Queen ku Wexford- amodzi mwa madera ofunikira kwambiri ku Ireland omwe amabzala mbewu - tsopano opitilira 70% omaliza.

IFA yakumbutsa alimi kuti akhazikike pa msika panjira zawo zobzala kuti apewe kuchulukitsitsa kapena kusagwirizana kwabwino pakadutsa nyengo.
Kukhazikika Kwamsika Pakati pa Kusatsimikizika kwa Nyengo
Kupitilira kutchuka kwa zakudya zophikidwa kunyumba ndi zokolola zakomweko ikuthandizira kukhazikika msika wa mbatata waku Ireland. Malinga ndi Bord Bia, malonda a mbatata ku Ireland adakula 3.2% mu 2024, ndikugwiritsa ntchito nyumba kukhalabe dalaivala wamkulu ngakhale pali zovuta zakukwera kwamitengo yazakudya. Nyengo yozizirira nthawi zambiri imagwirizana ndi kuchuluka kwa malonda a mbatata, makamaka mitundu yowotcha ndi yowira.
Mofananamo, makampani ochereza akuwona zizindikiro zotsitsimula pambuyo pa zaka za kusokonezeka kwa mliri. Malo odyera ndi ma pubs adachulukirachulukira muzakudya zopangidwa ndi mbatata zomwe zagulitsidwa patchuthi chaposachedwa, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti msika uzikhala wokwanira pamayendedwe ogulitsa ndi ogulitsa zakudya.
Cyprus: Kutumiza Kumayiko Ena Kuchepa, Frost Imawonjezera Kupanikizika
Kutsogolo kwa kutumiza kunja, a Gawo la mbatata yaku Cyprus—omwe kale anali ogulitsa kwambiri kumisika yaku Europe kwanthawi yayitali - akukumana ndi mavuto akulu. Kutumiza kunja kwatsika pafupifupi 50% pazaka zisanu ndi zitatu zapitazi, motsogozedwa ndi kukwera kwa ndalama zothandizira, mpikisano wochokera kumpoto kwa Africa, ndi zovuta zogwirira ntchito.
Chaka chino, zochitika zachisanu zasokoneza chithunzicho. Malinga ndi Cyprus Agricultural Research Institute, kuzizira kochedwa-dzinja mu February kuonongeka pafupifupi 20-30% za minda yobzalidwa koyambirira, kumachepetsa kwambiri ma voliyumu omwe amayembekezeredwa. Ogulitsa kunja amayembekezera kutumiza kwachepetsedwa, makamaka kumisika yakumpoto kwa Europe monga UK, Germany, ndi Netherlands.
Kubzala ku UK: Kupita Kwabwino, Kukula Kwapang'onopang'ono
Mu United Kingdom, kubzala mbatata kukupita patsogolo pang'onopang'ono, ngakhale pang'onopang'ono kuposa avareji kuwonekera ndi kukula koyambirira, chifukwa cha kuzizira kosalekeza. Malinga ndi AHDB Mbatata, kuzungulira 60-70% ya mbewu zadziko lonse idabzalidwa pofika kumayambiriro kwa mwezi wa April, kubzala kwatsala pang’ono kutha kum’mwera ndi kulowera chakumpoto.
Dothi lozizira ndi kuchepa kwa dzuwa kwachepetsa kukula kwa thupi, kuchedwetsa ntchito zoyamba za m'munda monga kupalira komanso njira zodzitetezera ku chowawa. Agronomists aku UK akuti kutentha kwa nthaka kumakhalabe pansi pa 8°C m'madera ambiri-malo ofunikira kuti mbatata ikule bwino.
Miyezi yoyambirira ya 2025 ikuwonetsa chithunzi chosakanikirana koma cholimba kwambiri pagawo la mbatata ku Europe. Ireland ikuwoneka bwino ndi kufunikira kokhazikika komanso kupita patsogolo kokhazikika koyambirira, pamene alimi mu UK ndi Cyprus kukumana ndi kupsinjika kwa kuzizira komanso kuopsa kwa zokolola zokhudzana ndi nyengo. Pamene kubzala kukupitirira ndi nyengo zikusintha, zisankho zanzeru zozungulira kusankha kosiyanasiyana, kulinganiza msika, ndi kuwongolera matenda zidzakhala zofunika kwambiri kuti tipeze mapindu amphamvu. Pakalipano, uthengawu ndi womveka: kukula ndi msika, koma khalani okonzekera ma curveballs achilengedwe.
