Spanish capital besieged by irate farmers The three main agricultural unions claim producers have seen a 26 percent drop in real income between 2003 and 2008, while costs rose by 34 percent. They have had enough, one farmer said: “The government is doing the wrong thing, allowing the intervention of many intermediaries so finally the farmer gets a miniscule part of the amount the consumer pays.” Many producers of grain, dairy. olive oil, citrus fruit, wine and meat have hit the skids and warned that Spain could well end up importing some of the country’s staples.
