00:02 Catherine's mago harvest is underway and it's looking like a bit of a tough season
00:05 ahead for local growers.
00:07 The crop forecast for Catherine and Manuranka is estimated to be 1.1 million trays, which
00:14 is nearly half of last year's crop.
00:17 The crop is very much lower than in any usual year.
