Agricultural crisis. The FDSEA and JA 47 denounce the prices and origin of products in a store in Agenais

“1 kilo of sugar at €1.50, 1 kilo of flour at €0.79, a situation which, in the midst of an agricultural crisis, endangers not only the survival of French producers, but also the entire agricultural sector national. It's catastrophic. » Members of the FDSEA and JA 47 unions went to take a look at the new Stokomani clearance store, open since mid-October, in Boé. And what they found there made them angry. “The importation of these products at extremely low prices, well below the cost price of local production, constitutes unfair competition for French farmers. While Ukrainian flour and sugar flood the market at knockdown prices, French producers are forced to fight to survive in an economic context where production costs are ever higher, and where their remuneration remains insufficient to cover their expenses. Wheat, for example, is paid at ridiculous prices, and French sugar producers can no longer even guarantee decent prices for their crops.
