In response to the consequences of the 2026 drought, the Lozère Chamber of Agriculture has launched a survey for chestnut growers to assess the impacts on the department's harvests and chestnut groves.

This survey aims to gather precise information on harvest and yield losses, the sanitary state of the fruits, the small size of the chestnuts, potential chestnut tree mortality, and other observed consequences on farms.
Professionals can fill out the survey online via a dedicated link. Results will be viewable in real-time as maps and graphs, providing a progressive and territorialized view of the drought's impacts on the 2026 chestnut harvest in Lozère.
The Chamber of Agriculture thanks participants in advance for their contribution, which is essential for obtaining a representative overview of the situation. This initiative follows up on surveys conducted since the summer of 2026.
