French Farmers' Protest
Paris, France
The French farmers' protests are a series of protests, road blockages and lay siege to supermarkets, organized mainly by agricultural unions. They have been protesting for weeks over what are excessively restrictive environmental rules, low food price negotiations, low incomes and competition from cheap imports from outside the European Union, such as large imports from Ukraine and trade deals with South American bloc Mercosur. The imports are resented for pressuring European prices while not meeting environmental standards imposed on EU farmers.
