Juan José Laso, president of the Guadalajara provincial farmers and livestock association (APAG), says local agriculture is at its least profitable point in years. He cites cereal prices that do not cover production costs, diesel prices that are too high, and fertilizers 20-30% more expensive than last year, alongside uneven harvests and regional problems such as wildlife damage, wolf attacks, wildfires and irrigation water availability.
Higher input costs combined with low cereal prices squeeze grain farmers in Spain, which can reduce planted area and local grain supply over time. Wheat and barley price pressure in the region is a modest bearish signal for feed grains.
