French farmers protested near Paris against a potential EU-Mercosur trade deal, fearing it would harm local agriculture by allowing low-quality imports. The FNSEA union emphasized the urgent need for support and deregulation, while President Macron reiterated France"s opposition to the deal during the G20 summit in Rio.
European farmers are protesting the EU's trade deal with Mercosur, fearing it will undercut local agriculture due to lower standards in South America. While some sectors like pigmeat and dairy may benefit, the deal's impact on beef and poultry is seen as a threat to local producers. Critics argue that the EU's push for sustainability is undermined by importing meat from deforested areas, highlighting a perceived double standard in agricultural policy.
French farmers plan to protest starting November 15, 2024, against the EU-Mercosur trade deal, which they oppose despite the French government's public stance. As the European Commission seeks to finalize the agreement, it is reportedly developing a compensation fund to address farmers' concerns and mitigate resistance from France.
