Catalonia’s farmers demand more help over drought

Farmers in Catalonia are raising concerns about the impact of a prolonged drought on their crops and livelihoods. Many regions in Catalonia have been experiencing below-average rainfall for several months, leading to water shortages and dry conditions that are affecting the agriculture sector.

The lack of water has led to decreased yields for crops such as wheat, barley, and olive trees. Farmers are struggling to maintain their crops and some fear that they may not be able to harvest a profitable yield this season.

In response to the crisis, farmers are demanding more help from the local government and agricultural authorities. They are calling for financial assistance to help cover the costs of irrigation systems, water conservation measures, and crop loss insurance.

Without immediate action, Catalonia’s farmers warn that the drought could have long-lasting consequences for the region’s agriculture industry. They are urging authorities to prioritize efforts to mitigate the impact of the drought and support farmers through this difficult time.
