Fruit growers demonstrated last monday in La Almunia de Doña Godina ( the largest town of one of  the main areas for fruit production in the north of Spain) against the russian veto on horticulture products and they also showed their concern about the insufficient messures offered by the local administration.

UAGA, the biggest union of growers in the area, pointed out  "an increasing feeling of collapse in stone fruit market" and warned that many of their members had already decided not to collect their pending production.

This organisation claimed a general withdrawal in order to push the EU markets to accept their position.Shock measures must go further than fight for stone fruit sector affected by russian veto, "a prices control policy must be clearly perceived by every factor in food chain, specially by great distribution companies".
