>**Groen wants to introduce a model where the price for agricultural products would be fixed for several years.** Prices would be calculated with the whole chain based on objective data and with the help of an intermediary. Farmers would thus receive a guaranteed price fixed for at least three years.

So they’re suggesting Colruyt buys Dutch instead of Belgian potatoes?
A political party that has real solutions for the farmers problem, instead of the easy and short minded solutions like cd&v?
