Ishyirahamwe ry’Abaporo muri Amerika ritangaza ko umusaruro w’amapera mu gihugu hose wabaye mwinshi cyane mu mwaka ushize.
Muri Michigan, umwaka mwiza wagabanyije ibiciro by'ubwoko bumwe na bumwe ndetse bituma inganda zipakira zitinda.
Emma Grant, uyobora Cherry Bay Orchards muri Suttons Bay, yizeye ko bimwe muri ibi bibazo bizakemuka muri uyu mwaka w'imikino.
“Ntabwo twigeze tuyikoresha mbere,” yavuze afungura indobo y’amazi y’umweru mwinshi. “Ariko kubera ko hari pome nyinshi muri Michigan kandi abapakiraga bakeneye umwanya uhagije wo gupakira, twahisemo kugerageza.”
Ikiyiko niigenzura ry'imikurire y'ibimera; we na bagenzi be bapimye icyo gihingwa bagivanga n'amazi maze batera Premier Honeycrisp mu gace gato k'ibiti by'amapera.
“Ubu turimo gutera ibi bintu twizeye ko bizatinda kwera kwa Premier Honeycrisp [amapera],” Grant yagize ati. “Bihinduka umutuku ku giti, hanyuma iyo turangije gutoragura andi mapera tukayatoragura, aba akiri ku rwego rwo kwera kugira ngo bibikwe.”
Twizeye ko izi pome za mbere zizaba zitukura uko bishoboka kose zitazaba zishaje cyane. Ibi bizaziha amahirwe menshi yo gukusanywa, kubikwa, gupfunyika no kugurishwa abaguzi.
Biteganijwe ko umusaruro w’uyu mwaka uzaba munini, ariko ukaba muto ugereranije n’umwaka ushize. Nyamara, abashakashatsi bavuga ko bidasanzwe kubona ibi bibaho imyaka itatu yikurikiranya.
Chris Gerlach avuga ko ibyo biterwa n'uko turimo gutera ibiti byinshi by'amapera mu gihugu hose.
Gerlach, ukurikirana isesengura ryavuye mu Ishyirahamwe rya Apple muri Amerika, ishyirahamwe ry’ubucuruzi bw’inganda z’amapera, yagize ati: “Twateye hegitari zigera kuri 30.35.000 z’imbuto z’amapera mu myaka itanu ishize.”
Gerlach yagize ati: “Ntabwo watera igiti cy’amapera hejuru y’igiti cy’amapera cya sogokuru wawe. Ntuzatera ibiti 400 kuri hegitari imwe bifite ubwihisho bunini, kandi uzakenera kumara igihe kinini n’imbaraga nyinshi utema cyangwa usarura ibiti.”
Inganda nyinshi zirimo kwerekeza ku buryo bworoshye bwo gukurura abantu benshi. Ibi biti bisa n'inkuta z'imbuto.
Bahinga pome nyinshi ahantu hato kandi bakazisarura byoroshye—ikintu kigomba gukorwa n'intoki niba pome zigurishwa ari nshya. Byongeye kandi, nk'uko Gerlach abivuga, ubwiza bw'imbuto buri hejuru kurusha mbere hose.
Gerlach yavuze ko bamwe mu bahinzi bahombye kubera ko umusaruro wabaye mu mwaka wa 2023 watumye ibiciro biri hasi cyane kuri bimwe mu bwoko bw’ibihingwa.
“Ubusanzwe mu mpera z’igihembwe cy’ihinga, aba bahinzi b’amapera bahabwaga sheki mu iposita. Muri uyu mwaka, abahinzi benshi bakiraga fagitire mu iposita kuko amapera yabo yari afite agaciro kari munsi y’ikiguzi cya serivisi.”
Uretse ikiguzi cy’abakozi n’ibindi bikoresho nk’ibikomoka kuri peteroli, abakora ubuhinzi bagomba kwishyura ububiko, gupfunyika amapera n’inkunga y’abagurisha inganda.
Gerlach yagize ati: “Ubusanzwe mu mpera z’igihembwe cy’ihinga, abahinzi b’amapera bafata igiciro cyo kugurisha amapera hakuwemo ikiguzi cy’izo serivisi hanyuma bakabona sheki mu iposita. Muri uyu mwaka, abahinzi benshi bakiriye fagitire mu iposita kuko amapera yabo yari afite agaciro kari munsi y’ikiguzi cya serivisi.”
Ibi ntibirambye, cyane cyane ku bahinzi bato n'abaciriritse—abahinzi bamwe bafite imirima myinshi y'imizabibu mu majyaruguru ya Michigan.
Gerlach yavuze ko abahinzi b’ibitoki byo muri Amerika barimo guhuriza hamwe kandi babona ishoramari ryinshi riva mu bigo byigenga n’ibigo by’imari by’amahanga. Yavuze ko iki gikorwa kizakomeza gusa uko ikiguzi cy’abakozi kizamuka, bigatuma bigorana kubona amafaranga mu mbuto gusa.
Yagize ati: “Muri iki gihe hari amarushanwa menshi ku nzabibu, clementine, avoka n'ibindi bicuruzwa biri ku isoko. Hari abantu bavuga icyo tugomba gukora kugira ngo duteze imbere pome nk'icyiciro, atari Honeycrisp gusa ugereranyije na Red Delicious, ahubwo na pome ugereranyije n'ibindi bicuruzwa.”
Nubwo bimeze gutyo, Gerlach yavuze ko abahinzi bakwiye kubona ihumure muri iki gihembwe cy'ihinga. Uyu mwaka uri kwitegura kuba ingenzi kuri Apple, ariko haracyari pome nke cyane ugereranyije n'umwaka ushize.
I Suttons Bay, ikigo gishinzwe kugenzura imikurire y'ibimera cyakoreshejwe na Emma Grant mu kwezi gushize cyagize ingaruka nziza: cyahaye pome zimwe umwanya wo gutukura zidahinduka nyinshi. Uko pome irushaho gutukura, niko irushaho gukurura abapakira.
Noneho yavuze ko azategereza akareba niba iyo conditioner imwe ifasha pome kubika neza mbere yuko zipakirwa no kugurishwa.
