Fruits Info

Tholen - Last Wednesday, the Spanish agricultural society AVA-Asaja declared in a press release that presently 20% of summer fruits are not harvested. The fruit is not picked since of a production surplus. The campaign started 20 days ago, but the amount of fruit released to the market is too large, as multiple area came into production at the same time. This results in low prices for the growers.

This announcement was followed by criticism of the ordinary market regulation, which is said to be inefficient. The AVA is powerless when tackle with the low prices. The present situation strongly resembles the situation of a few years ago. The major question is to what extend people learned from these experiences.
