Through this protest, the leaders of the agrria organization have wanted to denounce the situation that is repeating year after year on these Christmas dates in which 35% of the sheep meat is consumed throughout the year. According to his calculations, approximately 250,000 live lambs arrive in Spain during these days, mainly from France and from herds oriented to dairy production. "They are acquired at very low prices, flooding the markets here and dragging the price of the local producer down," Ehne denounces, adding to the same complaints that are being experienced in other areas, such as Castilla y León . In this sense, they recall that in the middle of the Christmas season when there is more consumption and historically the lamb was better sold, “the price to the shepherdess is well below expectations and after these two weeks it falls to the ground. This is not sustainable ”. Likewise, they insist that these live lambs from France “are slaughtered in the slaughterhouses here, confusing the consumer who identifies them with the public protection brands that exist here, Cordero de Navarra etc. The lack of a clear labeling makes starters and slaughterhouses relentless, they buy lamb that is stored to take it out in the campaigns of maximum consumption at a good price and paying a pittance to the shepherd ”. For all this, they demand that the different administrations apply the maximum controls to achieve total transparency of the markets to avoid fraud and ensure that the consumer really knows the product they are purchasing and where the lamb meat they consume is from and be aware of what drives you with your purchase.
