Spanish farmers from the association Unión de Uniones held a rally in front of the European Commission building in Madrid on Monday demanding action against excessive grain imports from Ukraine, uniondeuniones.org reported.
According to the report, the association also denounced the speculation on feed prices that livestock farmers are suffering from.
“Unión de Uniones held a rally in front of the European Commission building in Madrid to protest against excessive imports of agri-food products that create unfair competition with European production, especially grain from Ukraine, which cause prices to fall for farmers while ranchers continue to pay for expensive feed,” the report said.
The association has registered a letter to the president of the European Commission with its demands and proposals to resolve the situation.
Unión de Uniones will unite about thirty producers representing the main producing regions of Spain.
