💨 Abstract

French farmers will stage protests on Monday against a potential trade deal between the European Union and Mercosur countries, citing concerns about foreign competition and cheaper imports from Brazil and Argentina. The farmers fear the agreement will lead to increased imports of beef, chicken, sugar, and maize, which they argue use pesticides and antibiotics banned in Europe. The protests are part of a series planned until mid-December, with farmers blockading highways and government buildings.
