Farmers in Serpa, represented by APROSERPA, have requested an urgent meeting with the Government due to the rising price of diesel. The association has called for a response from the Ministry of Agriculture by the middle of next week.

If there is no response, APROSERPA has threatened to resort to "other forms of struggle." Farmers emphasized the significant impact that fuel costs have on their daily operations.

One example presented pertains to the fuel cost for two tractors, which can reach up to 542 euros in a single day of work. This situation has raised concerns among local farmers about the viability of their activities.

The calls for a meeting aim to discuss solutions to the escalating price crisis affecting the agricultural sector. The urgency of the situation has been underscored by the financial difficulties faced by farmers.
