The mayor claims that the "crisis of cucumber has been infected with tomato, lettuce, broccoli, watermelon, melon and stone fruit, so that losses in the sector are soaring.
Jódar Francisco has announced the approval of a motion at the next Local Government and the convening of an extraordinary plenary session once it is formed the new corporation.
Lorca's mayor, Francisco Jodar has announced its rejection of the treatment being offered to farmers Lorca as a result of the so-called "crisis of cucumber."
The mayor has indicated that economic losses are suffering Lorca professionals are multiplying as the days passed, while he described as "unfair and unexpected" reaction was the German government in this regard.
The Mayor has indicated, after a meeting with representatives of Fecoam, unexport, Asaja and almost all local producers, that this situation is happening just as when speaking of tomato export agreement with Morocco, "is really affecting all the products. "
In fact Jódar reported that already is experiencing a sharp drop in consumption of food products from Spain, and hence of Lorch.
In this sense, there is a very bad condition to development of the summer campaign of melon and watermelon, due to the contagion effect that is occurring because the generated alert has aroused the suspicions of consumers across Europe against products Spanish.
Francisco Jodar to this scenario, anticipates that it will convey both the president of the CARM, as the Prime Minister's Office, the casuistry that has been generated in our town, a situation which he described as "a strong blow aggravates the context so complicated that we, the Lorca. "
The mayor has said that the opening of borders to products from the food industry in our region is "virtual" and has not fixed anything, since it raised the alarm European consumers 'long pass' when they see our products.
In fact there are several tons of products that are being left on the ground despite having been previously contracted.
This makes the forecast has a very difficult summer and heavy losses in the sector.
The bulk of the money ordered by the EU will go to Germany, England, Belgium and Holland
Lorca's mayor has said that the assistance of 150 million enacted by the EU to absorb loss is considered by the producer sector Lorca as "ridiculous and incoherent," and that aid will go to the tomato growers lettuce and cucumber.
These are products that are already almost out of season in Spain, and yes they are cultivated in other countries like Germany, England, Belgium and Holland.
Given these facts, Jódar has been called "paradoxical" precisely the country that raised the alarm against Spanish products is now, which would benefit mainly from EU aid.
