Spain: Delays at French border due to strike harmed strawberry export

The effects of the strike were felt last week in the soft fruit sector especially at the French border at La Jonquera, the road to Perpignan.

The effects of last week's general strike have had an affect on the Huelva strawberry campaign, mainly in transportation, as it is a sector controlled directly by the unions.

This has been explained by the manager of the Association of Producers, Rafael Dominguez Guillen, who regretted that while the harvest has not had problems, "we are seeing some now in the transportation.

"Transportation was the most complicated", as explained, while adding that "there were delays at the border on the road to Perpignan (France) and little activity in the wholesale markets is also affected the merchandise."

In the field, as indicated by Domínguez Guillén, there were cooperatives and workers who did not work."
