This year’s problem is overproduction. By 2016 trees gave less fruit, thus, generating a rise in prices. Daniel Manzaba, an inhabitant of Rio Grande, corroborates it. A farmer is paid a minimum of $ 4 and a maximum of $ 8 for 100 tangerines.
A ‘gatherer’ earns from $ 15 up to $ 20 daily and can collect up to 3,000 tangerines. “If you multiply that number by $ 1.70, the result is $ 51. What is left for the producer after transportation costs?”
Hence, the fruit is abandoned on the farms. “It is not enough to pay laborers and transportation.” Producers are concerned about the situation and therefore hold meetings with other owners of storage centers to request assistance to the Government.
