The agricultural organization advocates moderating the margin on local products in order to improve the perception of the baserritarra and to stimulate the sale of local products.
Euskaraz irakurri: Elikagai kateko desorekak salatu eta marjinak murrizteko eskatu die ENBAk banatzaileei eta saltokiei
The agricultural organization ENBA has the imbalances that are given in the Euskadi agri-food chainand has one telephone conversation to commercial establishments and distribution chains to moderate the applied margins of local products, on the one hand to guarantee that producers can at least cover the production costs and on the other hand to stimulate their sales.
At a press conference held today in San Sebastián, ENBA representatives asked to the Basque government to accelerate the work of the Behatokia Observatory, to publish production cost reports and tighten controls on facilities and distribution chains to ensure compliance with the Food Chain Act.
According to a report prepared by ENBAthe margins are 33% in beef, 45-55% in cow’s milk, 45% in tomato in supermarket, 44-55% in cheese, 55% in yogurt, 68% in cider, 70% in honey, 70-80% chicken, 73% Gernika pepper, 75-85% tomato in the store, 87% apple and 118% lettuce.
Outside the margins, from ENBA they wanted to influence another “problem that remains hidden, in the shadows”, namely nothing other than the discounts or commissions applied to the products, “which affect the price received by the producers and their companies and cooperatives” .
In addition, the agricultural organization has demanded that the distribution remove the differential treatment between the private label and the corporate brand, “to the detriment of the latter”.
