Why French farmers attack the Spanish and other keys to understanding the conflict in the French countryside. Experts agree that the confrontation is a "smokescreen" in the face of the rise of Spanish exports.
50% of the fruit and vegetable exports that arrive in France come from Morocco. The problem is in the control at customs and ports of food products that come from abroad, especially from Morocco, which do not usually pass the demanding health controls that European farmers are required to undergo. But beyond that, the cost of production, especially in relation to labor, has nothing to do with third countries than in Europe.
