2️⃣ Extend protection beyond the EU.

3️⃣ Strengthen enforcement & complaint mechanisms.

🚜 Farmers deserve fair pay! 🌱

The EU Directive on #UnfairTradingPractices can help stop exploitation, but it must go further! A coalition of NGOs and farmers' organizations is calling for key improvements:

✅ Ban below-cost purchasing – No farmer should sell at a loss. (1/2)
