Farmers have closed the roads leading to Paris on Sunday in protest of the French government’s policy.
According to farmers, their livelihood suffers from unfair foreign competition and excessive regulation.
Last month, the EU reached an agreement to expand free trade with several South American countries, which may increase food imports into Europe.
Representatives of the farmers’ interest organization are scheduled to meet the French prime minister on January 13.
