Ovar: Farmers protest and accuse the Government of abandonment
Farmers, cattle breeders, and milk producers held a protest in Ovar this Wednesday to denounce a lack of government action, rising production costs, and the influx of cheaper imports. They submitted a document of demands to the Secretary of State for Agriculture at the AgroVouga fair, seeking measures such as lower agricultural fuel prices, reduced bureaucracy, and tighter controls on imported produce.
Why it mattersThis protest highlights ongoing tensions regarding the rising costs of fuel and agricultural inputs, which the organizers argue are contributing to a broader increase in food prices and the abandonment of the sector.
