"Linas agro has taken farmers by storm. Šakiai farmers were not the first to be silent (VIDEO)
Farmers in Šakiai district have been angered by the claims of representatives of AB „Linas agro“ about the declining quality of Lithuanian cereals. In a statement, AB „Linas agro“ claimed that Lithuania has been suffering from deteriorating grain quality for 3 years in a row, which is allegedly due to farmers' choices to invest less in certified seed. Another reason is that farmers are investing in low-quality seed varieties and buying less fertiliser.
„Farmers in Šakiai district are watching with concern the public debate about the deteriorating quality of wheat, which was recently sparked by statements made by representatives of the agricultural sector in an article on the situation of the wheat market,– writes the Šakiai District Farmers' Union (ŠRŪS) in a report, which regrets that „the authors of the article ignore many aspects of the reality experienced by farmers, presenting simplistic conclusions and unilaterally shifting the blame for the poorer grain quality to the farmers“.
About all this, we talked to Mindaugas Martinitis, board member of the Šakiai District Farmers' Union, on the "Agrobitė play" channel.
