De United Potato Growers of Belgium start volgende week bijeenkomsten om telersverenigingen op te richten.
Het doel is het aardappelareaal te beperken, zodat de prijs kan stijgen. De UPGB houdt twaalf bijeenkomsten in Vlaanderen, zegt secretaris Guy Depraetere van het Algemeen Boeren Syndicaat (ABS), de boerenorganisatie die in België het initiatief neemt. "Vlaanderen telt zo’n achtduizend aardappeltelers, waaronder veel kleine bedrijven. Er zijn ongeveer 1.000 telers met meer dan 5 hectare aardappelen."
De UPGB volgt de Nederlandse Akkerbouw Vakbond die de oprichting van telersverenigingen stimuleert die vrijwillig afspraken maken om het areaal 10 procent te verkleinen.
