Very funny...
Do you know WHY the french farmers do that?
Of course your media don't talk about it...
The Spanish farmers don't respect the European laws, they sell their vegetables at any price and it's forbidden in Europe!!!

French farmers detain the trucks with fruit proceeding from Spain
0 ComentariosUn group of French farmers has managed to overturn a truck proceeding from Spain with a load full of fruit. As measurement of prevention the Mossos they have proceeded to close the traffic on the border for this type of vehicles. From France they complain about disloyal competition on the part of Spain for selling the products with very low prices. The Government affirms " not to be ready to withstand " the vuelco of goods and that will take measures
Yes we know about what the French farmers complain. But to throw the meal is not ways of protesting and any more with the famine that there is in the world, Europe needs these vitamins.
That lower the prices and raise us the salary.
The Index of Prices in Origin and Destination, a report published by COAG with the UCE and Ceaccu, spills a few numbers this year so worrying as in the previous ones. It has not stopped spending one year in which the distinguishing one between the price of the food between origin and destination rises, but in particular this year there are some products star that have multiplied even for 10 times his value.
Those that more have got dearer
Between the products that this March more have risen there finds the cucumber 9,10 times more expensive for the final consumer from his price of origin, the courgette 7,41 times, the tomato 7,19 times and the lemon 7,4 times.
The average
In whole, the average of the products of the agriculture that are increasing his price during the intermediaries, during this March, has been 4,23 times. The distinguishing one that for COAG is untenable and that of not stopping by means of the European legislation or the proper one of our country, will provoke a major abandonment of the field and a major food dependency on third countries.
Do the intermediaries steal us?
Habitually we can listen to the agrarian lobby to protest for the infladísimos margins of benefit that the intermediaries obtain, on having acquired his products at a few prices misérrimos and they be resold the most expensive to the consumer. This way, for example, the Coordinating State one of Organizations of Farmers and Stockbreeders (COAG) does not hesitate to declare: " The intermediaries' chains usually obtain, without scarcely assuming risks, a margin of benefit that often 450 % overcomes ", and Eladio Aniorte, president of Young Farmers (Asaja) of Alicante, it raised the bet on having affirmed recently that sometimes these margins reach " 6.000 % ".
With the accounts of 2008 in the hand, we see that the margins of benefit of the retailers (Mercadona, Eroski, Carrofour and El Corte Ingles) scarcely overcome 2 %; some of them, for example Eroski, lose money. The wholesalers (Mercamadrid and Mercabarna) present major margins of benefit (33 and 12 %), but in any case not too scandalous, especially when we put them as regards the capital that they use. And the fact is that, when we take the ROA, the authentic baremo of profitability of a business, we see that none is over 7,5 %, and that those of some, as Carrefour and El Corte Ingles, are very moderate (2,4 and 2,2 %).
Is there great a ROA of 7,5 %? Bearing in mind that the nominal average profitability of the American bag throughout the XXth century was 10 %, enough normalita talks each other about a number, not outstanding at all. In fact, at the end of 2009 approximately a third of all the companies quoted in the United States had a ROA superior to 7,5 %.
Finally, the profitabilities of the Spanish intermediaries are normal throwing casualties, and the extraordinary benefits do not appear by any side, unlike what the farmers denounce.
Conclusion
The demonización of the intermediaries is a strategy extended enough in the Spanish field to try to excuse the inefficiency of the proper sector. For years it turns out to be quite clear that in Spain farmers remain, which is translated in an excess of production and in a few low prices of selling. It is not a question of the intermediaries paying to them less than they should, in essence because they cannot pay to them much any more.
Considering the scarce margins and the scarce valuations of profitability of our intermediaries, there is no any possibility of raising significantly the offered prices that the farmers receive. Higher offered prices would lead to the progressive failure and decapitalization of our intermediaries, which in the mid term would mean a minor volume of deals, lower offered prices and higher asked prices.
Neither it seems possible that our intermediaries raise the prices for that they ask the consumers, in turn, to pay higher prices to the farmers. We have already seen that the prices do not depend on the costs, but the other way round, and that therefore it is not possible to raise in a supported way the price asked over the utility of the product.
The field, therefore, needs an urgent restructuring, which does not have to happen for stealing the intermediaries. The margins that are trying to arbitrate – between the offered price and the average costs of the agriculture – some time ago that became closer and that should have stopped being exploited. They realize activities that do not satisfy the needs of the consumers.
It is not a question of the farmers staying out of the society, but of any of them redeeming other functions, in those activities which margins are positive. Unfortunately, it seems that the strategy that they have adopted raisin for proclaiming that it departs from the margins of the intermediaries they belongs and, across so unjustified crying, to obtain all kinds of prebends. At least one notices that intervencionistas as Spanish have understood the functioning of political systems.
