The Union of Unions of Farmers and Ranchers expects that the consumption of lamb for Christmas will not significantly drop despite the crisis and price increases this year. However, they have noted a significant rise in consumer prices, around 17%, compared to last year, which is not balanced by the increase in producer prices. The union is calling for better control over product labeling at butcher's counters and emphasizes the need for a fair food chain law and relevant aid to offset the impact of production costs. They are also concerned about the closure of sheep farms due to the COVID-19 impact on the HORECA channel and social gatherings, and are urging the Administration to prevent further farm closures.
