Spanish agriculture: very consumed, little known

The Business Association for Plant Protection (AEPLA) has made the “I Survey Perception and image of Spanish Agriculture” in order to know what they think about this sector and its products and how are citizens of a country mostly urban like ours.

According to these results, the Spanish are big consumers of agricultural products, especially fruit and vegetables (83% say take two or more pieces a day), and we are very aware of the importance of crops and plants (one 85% say they live with them in their homes).

However, the survey also reveals that know very little about agriculture and the way it makes may have fruits and vegetables on our table. The technology used, types of agriculture, socio-economic relevance or food security are, to this day, largely unknown.

Cristóbal Aguado, president of agrarian business organization AVA-Asaja, and Carlos Palomar, director general AEPLA, present the results of the survey and assess its main findings next April 7 during a press conference.

Date: April 7, 2016.
