# UPA calls for regulation of the cereal market in Castilla y León amid ruinous prices and massive imports

> UPA Castilla y León called for intervention to address low farm-gate cereal prices and what it describes as mass imports that threaten family-farm profitability. It cited a new olive-oil measure requiring mills to withhold 12% of production as a precedent for possible market-stabilization measures for wheat, barley and other cereals.

## Why it matters

The group’s request signals concern that imports and weak domestic prices are pressuring Spanish cereal growers, but no cereal intervention has been announced. If measures that limit supply or imports are adopted, they could support local grain prices and feed costs.
