The number of farmers in Navarre is down by half
- Over the fourteen years, the number of Navarros farmers has fallen from 4,748 to 2.437.La viticulture and viticulture have been the sectors that have lost the most farmers, closely following livestock holdings. The Department of Rural Development and the Environment of Navarra attributed this decrease to the drop in sales prices of producers.
The Index of Food Origin and Destination Prices (CPI) has shown that over the past ten years the benefit of producers for their products has been decreasing. Likewise, these products, such as oil, oranges and mandarins, have been used as a claim product in commercial establishments. In other words, as farmers' profits decline, they have become more widespread products in the shopping cart of the population.
In addition, foreign events have also led to a decline in the number of farmers in the CAV and Navarre. In fact, the introduction of food from other regions of the European Union or from countries outside the EU has had a direct effect on local farmers. Before the Spanish State became a member of the EU, producers set their prices, but at the same time as they became members of the Union, prices were already fixed and represented a significant decrease in farmers’ profits.
Outside the European Union, international policy has also been affected. Navarros farmers have also been forced to limit their activity by the Russian veto or Trump tariffs.
The European Union grants aid to some 5,000 farmers in the Navarre primary sector. However, this has not prevented a reduction in the number of farmers, for the reasons outlined above.

Are baserritars on vacation? They ask in school. The students have answered no. So, working every day, would you like to be baserritarra in the future? And if nobody wants to be a baserritarra, who is going to make food for us? The question stayed in the air.
For the health and... [+]
Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]
We have seen the peasants with power tractors, roads, bridges, blocking borders, and the heart made us “krak!” in solidarity, because we are also peasants children and brothers, because they are still striving to bring the farms ahead. We've heard protesters criticizing the... [+]

The presence in the city walks of a tractor that moves with ease and dexterity in the cornfields, causes a shock of images, an out-of-place device loses its elegance and strength in the city, just as the high-heel shoes lose when you see walking through the mountain. The change... [+]
