The agricultural sector is putting pressure on the Government with protests across Spain over the rise in fuel prices
The main agricultural organizations warn that the price of agricultural diesel is now 50% more expensive than it was a year ago, and announce urgent mobilizations with dates yet to be revealed.
Spain's main agricultural organizations, Asaja, COAG, and UPA, have warned that the price of agricultural diesel is 50% higher than last year, and have announced urgent mobilizations to protest the increase. The price of agricultural diesel has risen to 1.65 euros per liter, up from 1.1 euros in September last year, and the government subsidy of 20 cents per liter is set to expire on September 30.
The sector is demanding immediate measures from the government to address the crisis, which is affecting farmers and livestock producers across the country. The government has kept the door open to potential new aid, but has not yet announced any concrete measures.
