seasonal harvest

Seasonal harvest refers to the period when crops or agricultural products are ready to be collected, which varies depending on the crop type and climate. Farmers plant crops at specific times so they mature and can be harvested during optimal conditions, often influenced by seasonal weather patterns. This cycle ensures crops are gathered when they are at peak quality, maximizing yield and nutritional value. The timing of harvest impacts supply, prices, and availability in markets. Recognizing these seasons helps consumers understand why certain fruits, vegetables, or crops are available only during particular times of the year.
