Two out of each three watermelons eaten in Spain come from different nations corresponding to Morocco and Senegal. Something that impacts farmers like Manuel, from Motril (Granada), who has determined to present away his harvest of watermelons fairly than throw them away. Nothing extra and nothing lower than 100 thousand kilos of this fruit that he has distributed amongst all those that have come to his orchard.
Manuel regrets that the big Spanish grocery store chains desire to purchase African watermelons, as can also be the case with greens corresponding to cucumbers, since they’re cheaper than the price of manufacturing in Spain, “though they’re then bought as in the event that they had been from right here” , assures.
Three months of labor wasted on the bottom. Manuel has not been in a position to get any firm to purchase his product and has ended up abandoning his harvest of watermelons. However, in simply someday, they’ve already taken nearly every little thing. He has already given away nearly 80,000 kilos of watermelon.
Some have even come to his orchard in Motril and loaded a complete truckload of watermelons. There are individuals who have paid him one thing, they’ve even paid him as much as 200 euros. The quantity that Manuel insures remains to be inadequate to alleviate the losses.
Manuel isn’t the one farmer who has issues getting a revenue from his harvest. His son, he says, has caught nearly 70,000 kilos of cucumber under the manufacturing value.
