Spain: A second very bad campaign requires the adoption of urgent measures to alleviate the serious situation of bean producers in Asturias

The article highlights the concerns of bean producers in the Asturias region over the poor harvest results due to adverse weather conditions, including both drought and excessive humidity, which have led to the spread of fungi and diseases in the crops. The Regulatory Council of the Asturian Faba and the harvest of the Faba Verdina have been significantly affected. In response, the COAG Asturias agricultural organization has proposed that the Ministry of Rural Environment and Agricultural Policy take immediate action to support the bean producers and prevent the potential disappearance of this traditional activity. The proposed solutions include providing direct aid similar to that for beef and allowing producers to work outside of the farms while maintaining the UTA.
