An assembly of Sardinian
dairy farmers on Tuesday agreed on their milk-price demands
ahead of a meeting on the issue in Rome on Thursday.
The farmers have been protesting for weeks at how low the
price of milk has dropped, dumping milk on the street on several
occasions.
The assembly of the movement of Sardinian dairy farmers
agreed on the draft of a potential agreement that would see the
price they get for milk going up at once to 80 cents a litre,
compared to 72 cents proposed at talks with Agriculture Minister
Gian Marco Centinaio on Saturday, and then rising to one euro a
litre by the end of the season.
