New Hortyfruta president Francisco Góngora Cañizares has expressed concern over the sustainability of the sector.
Price increases in inputs and general production costs have not been accompanied by rises in returns to growers, he claimed.
“This has really pressurised production margins. If we add to this the results of other multiple factors, such as the crisis in consumption levels, the whole activity is getting closer and closer to values that simply render production an ineffectual endeavour,” he said.
Working together to ensure the sector is well-represented is vital for the future, he added.
