Tridge summary

The Union of Unions and PALCA are calling for the protection of Canary Islands Banana producers in an upcoming review of the Food Chain Law. They argue that producers should receive the same level of protection as other farmers and fair prices for their produce. The Association of Organizations of Banana Producers of the Canary Islands (ASPROCAN) has been pushing for the exclusion of the Canary Islands Banana from the scope of the Food Chain Law, which Unión de Uniones claims is leading to lower price guarantees for producers. They also criticize ASPROCAN's management of the IGP Plátano de Canarias, stating that its poorest moments are due to poor management and that there are pending administrative proceedings.

Unión de Uniones, who knows the reality of the Canarian countryside and the farmers who work bananas through its territorial organization, PALCA, has defended during the two review processes of the Food Chain Law, so that it has the tools that ensure farmers and ranchers, as well as Canarian banana producers, that they can defend prices that at least compensate for production costs
