They apparently improve your mood, reduce stress and help us to fight diseases, but sales are dropping as a result of the current economic crisis. And they are?
Strawberries, of course. Sales are already on a downward trend and the industry fears that it may get worse as people opt for cheaper foodstuffs.
Farmers in Huelva are also a bit miffed that the situation is not helped by the ‘middlemen’. Strawberry farmers tend to get around €1 per kilo for their produce, but the price in the shops can be as much as four times that price. This, they argue, also reduces demand, particularly when people are suffering financially.
