The Agroesfera Agrosphere program of the 2 has analyzed the challenge that the rise in inputs represents for the sector. “Feed and diesel have made a livestock farm in Ontinar de Saltz, Zaragoza, unviable. “We are a small model, we do not have the capacity that large industries have.” And this is just one example. Without the capacity to be able to pass on the prices in the market, the closure of farms or the reduction of cattle heads is a common problem for many farms in Aragon.
From Agroesfera it is explained that “for two years the prices of feed have risen more than 300%”. For this reason, “aid and regularize prices so that we can live” are requested. The ranchers send an SOS message.
