The Community of Farmers and Ranchers of Almendralejo (CLYGAL) is calling for a review of the liquidations of grapes used for cava production, claiming that wineries have profited while farmers have not covered their costs.

They urge cava industrialists to justify their refusal to increase settlements and prevent farmers from suffering financial losses.
