Farmers in the Port of Motril are protesting against the entry of tomatoes from third countries, particularly Morocco, into the EU, claiming it creates unfair competition. Imports of Moroccan products have fallen by 4.4% this campaign due to issues caused by high temperatures. The Netherlands and Turkey are the biggest competitors for Almeria producers, with sales increasing by 14.4% and 11.8% respectively. The European Union and the United Kingdom are the main markets for producers in the Spanish southeast, with a 5.1% increase in volume despite inflation.
