Janusz Wojciechowski, the European Commissioner for Agriculture, has proposed a new law aimed at preventing farmers in the European Union from selling their produce below cost. The law, mirroring a similar one in France, is designed to provide financial stability for farmers and reduce production costs. The move comes amid declining farmers' incomes and consumer purchasing power, coupled with growing demands for sustainable and humane farming practices. The law would also regulate the buying of agricultural produce to ensure it is not purchased below cost.
