DJAKOVO, July 16 (Hina) - Farmers in four counties of the Slavonia
region began protests at noon on Wednesday demanding a higher wheat
price. #L#
Members of the federation of farmers' associations from Slavonia
and Baranja want the wheat price to be 1.30 kuna per kilogram
because they believe that the proposed price of one kuna cannot
cover production costs.
Farmers used their agricultural machines to block one lane of about
15 two-lane roads, but said there would be no total blockade. The
protests will last until 1400 hours.
