Christmas staple shortage forecast in WA

Cherries, a popular Christmas food item, are expected to be in short supply this year.

The state of Western Australia is said to be hit hard by the severe weather that has hit the cherry crop.

Growers say farmers are at risk of losing more than 90 percent of their cherry harvest this year due to the severe weather.

Southern Forest Food Council chairman Arthur Wilson said cherry farmers will face huge losses and their economic situation will also decline.

The avocado harvest could also be affected by the bad weather.

In response to the crisis, cherry cultivation is being restarted to import cherries from other states.
