Mendoza is the only province that has had a system to prevent hail for more than 30 years. Producers complain that it does not rain because of this mitigation system.
In a fierce storm with hail, on February 28, nearly 12 thousand hectares of vineyards, olive trees and vegetables in the northeast of the province were lost. In February, there were at least six sowing flights for twelve hours to deal with the storms that affected various locations in the Cuyo province. However, it was not enough to prevent damage to cultivated areas.
