Cristóbal Aguado

Cristóbal Aguado, president of the Valencian Association of Farmers (AVA-Asaja), is currently newsworthy due to his outspoken criticism of European Union trade policies and his warnings about the economic risks posed by the current international context, particularly the war initiated by Israel and the U.S. in Iran. He recently spoke at the ‘Fórum Europa. Tribuna Mediterránea’ in Valencia, highlighting the negative impact of the war on the agricultural sector, emphasizing that 'the worst enemy of the sector is war'. Aguado's concerns stem from the potential economic consequences of the conflict, including rising fuel prices and disruptions to basic services and consumer spending, which would disproportionately affect Valencian businesses and agriculture. His statements underscore the vulnerability of the Valencian agricultural sector to global political and economic instability.
