French Farmers Prepare for Nationwide Protests Amidst Economic Struggles

The FNSEA and Jeunes agriculteurs unions are gearing up for large-scale protests starting mid-November in response to declining wheat prices and rising production costs. Nicolas Hervin, a young cereal farmer from Val-d’Oise, shares his frustrations about the government’s insufficient support amidst one of the worst harvests in 40 years. He expresses concerns over a pending EU-Mercosur trade agreement, which could lead to unfair competition from South America. He hints at potential actions, including highway blockades, as farmers seek to secure better conditions for their industry.
