The cooperative hortofrutícula "Upper House", the largest grouping of farmers in Ceuta, estimated at one million euros, the value of the losses caused by the inability to market their combined production in recent weeks as a result of the transport strike in Spain and Europe.
Representatives of farmers in the municipality, including those of the cooperative, met this morning with the council of Agriculture of the City of Ceuta, Matias Sanchez, who has conveyed the concerns of the sector and the Ministry of Agriculture of Murcia.
Upper House facilities have been collapsed for lack of space to soak all fruit of its 300 partners, owners of some 4,000 tahullas of crops that have had to leave the trees much of its production, now ripe and unfit for marketing fresh.
The affected output is 300,000 kilos of peaches, 100,000 kilos of apricots, 150,000 and 200,000 kilos of plum and nectarine kilos, all of different varieties, for a total of 750,000 kilos.
These losses were compounded by the reduction of wages for work both in the field and in the warehouse, and those caused by the delay in marketing, quantified at about 250,000 euros.
