ASAJA Alicante, the agricultural organisation representing farmers across the province including the Vega Baja region, has called for a large-scale tractor protest in Madrid on 28 October. The demonstration will take place in front of the Ministry of Agriculture, where farming organisations are jointly demanding urgent and concrete measures to secure the future of the sector. Rising costs, competition from non-EU producers, and a perceived lack of government support are among the key grievances driving the mobilisation. The Vega Baja is one of Spain's most agriculturally productive areas, known for its citrus, vegetables and market gardens, meaning the health of the farming sector directly affects the region's landscape and local economy. International residents and prospective buyers in the area will recognise agriculture as a defining feature of the Costa Blanca hinterland.
