The agrarian professional association Asociacin Agricultores de Aguilas - ASAJA guilas has assessed as "very difficult and complicated" the current horticultural campaign in the agricultural sector of guilas, mainly due to the "fierce unfair competition" of third countries in the European Union.
According to the President of ASAJA guilas, Jos Martnez Quionero, "we are living a very hard campaign and with many complications, on the one hand we have a" very strong unfair competition "on the part of third countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Turkey , South Africa, Israel or Jordan.
It is vital, in our opinion, for the European Union to impose higher tariffs on products from third countries and give priority to European fruit and vegetable products ".
In addition, Martnez Quionero has also commented that "the horticultural aquiline sector has to work looking for differentiation and greater added value.
In this sense, it would be very interesting to work on a seal of quality for the fruits and vegetables of the guilas field. "
Also, the owner of ASAJA guilas has also commented that "the strike of the yellow vests in France together with a commercial demand for fruit and vegetable products that is not very fluid in the European markets have damaged the current campaign".
"From our association we understand that it is of the utmost importance to bet and work with greater intensity in such important chapters as marketing, promotion and new technologies applied to the agricultural sector, to make it more profitable and competitive," says Martnez Quionero.
Virus problems in Tomato
In addition, Martnez Quionero adds that "this campaign we had problems in tomato, include the sweet cucumber virus, as well as the virus of the tomato miner or" absolute tuta ".
At the same time, prices have not accompanied tomato cultivation either, due to the strong tomato imports from Morocco, which have greatly harmed our tomato. "
