In response to the drastic situation hitting EU dairy, pork, fruit and vegetable and beef producers, Copa and Cogeca are holding a mass demonstration outside EU Agriculture Ministers extraordinary meeting on September 7 to underline the unprecedented situation and demand action.
There is an extremely difficult situation on the EU pigmeat, dairy, fruit and vegetable and beef markets, mainly as a result of the Russian export restrictions which shot the EU’s main export market overnight. Prices are below production costs in many countries and farm incomes low, forcing some out of business.
