French farmers continue their "siege" of Paris, blocking major highways and dumping waste at government offices as the protest edged closer to the capital. They argue that government measures to quell the protests did not go far enough to meet their demands for better pay and living conditions.
The farmers say that these protests result from long-standing issues they face, including concerns over insufficient remuneration, lack of government aid, free trade agreements, pesticide use, and what they deem unfair competition with farmers from countries with less strict food quality norms. Among several other farmers' unions, the National Federation of Farmers' Unions (FNSEA) and Young Farmers (JA) are taking a leading role in these protests.
Recent data from The National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) revealed that in 2021, 18% of French farming families lived below the poverty line. Additionally, data from La Mutualité Sociale Agricole (MSA) in 2015 indicated that nearly one-third of farmers earn less than €354 a month.
