Our two agriculture ministers spoke with producers from Leuze-en-Hainaut and Beloeil to discuss the realities on the ground without detours.
These meetings, organised with the support of mayors Hervé Cornillie (Beloeil) and Bastien Marlot (Leuze-en-Hainaut), made it possible to address several concrete concerns: sugar and milk prices, taxation, investment grants, generational renewal, and challenges linked to Mercosur.
The frank and constructive discussions highlighted the major challenges facing our farmers, against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and tensions surrounding international trade agreements.
Our producers comply with some of the strictest standards in the world, in terms of quality, animal welfare, the environment and food safety. It is essential that imported products meet these same standards.
The discussions and visits took place at the family business Delobelle et fils in Beloeil and at the Ferme Bossut-Decuypere (Gauthier and Aurore) in Leuze-en-Hainaut.
