Angry farmers in Brussels made
their voices heard last Monday, pelting police officers with eggs and
driving tractors through the main streets of the city. European markets have
been flooded with milk and egg supplies, causing price drops so large that
farmers are barely able to make back production costs. Protestors have called
for the re-implementation of price stabilizers by European Union policymakers,
but global trade factors such as decreasing Chinese demand and Russian
sanctions have also contributed to the falling prices.
