Spanish agricultural organizations are asking the incoming government for concrete commitments to improve competitiveness, reduce production costs, and secure the future of agriculture and livestock farming.
Ahead of the general elections on November 29, major agricultural organizations and agri-food cooperatives have presented their priorities for the next legislative term to the political parties, with a shared goal: to ensure a primary sector that is profitable, competitive, and sustainable for the future.
Key demands include reducing production costs and bureaucratic burdens, advocating for a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) with sufficient resources, ensuring compliance with the Food Chain Law, and implementing measures to facilitate generational renewal.
Organizations such as ASAJA, COAG, UPA, and Unión de Uniones agree on the need to improve farm profitability, facilitate the entry of young people into the sector, and strengthen support for extensive livestock farming and family-run farms. They also call for stricter controls on agri-food imports and a level playing field in terms of competition with non-EU countries.
