«J’ai dû vendre une partie de mes vaches pour amortir le coût» : face à la hausse du prix du carburant et des engrais, les agriculteurs dos au mur

French farmers are facing increasing financial pressure due to rising fuel and fertilizer costs, exacerbated by the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. At its annual congress in Caen on April 2nd, the FNSEA, France's largest agricultural union, called for "strong measures" to address the crisis. However, the government is currently refusing to provide additional financial assistance to farmers. Some farmers are being forced to sell livestock to offset the increased expenses. The situation leaves many farmers in a precarious financial position, struggling to cope with the escalating costs of production.
