EU policies have destroyed french sugar industry
Source Sorry, the social media post is in French. EU policies have effectively dismantled France’s last family-owned sugar company.

Pushing OXO technology of the cliff was a cabal to get rid of a competing technology. The European Commission should have been neutral but it was a complice in this conspiracy. My big…

EU Commission Proposes Common Agricultural Policy Revisions Following Farmer Protests (Report)
I heard something recently but can’t remember who said it (journalist or politician) and it sounded like this: the current farmers protests are being organised by the big boys (agro industry) and not the small farmers. The small farmers are being instrumentalised by the bigger players to keep their EU CAP subsidies.
