Dairy crisis |
|
European agricultural ministers are holding emergency talks about the problems European farmers have with the decreasing prices for agricultural products.NHK Europe correpondent Kaori Nagao produces a reportage about a small Belgian dairy farmer that will demonstrate in Brussels to get financial support from the EU and a portrait of Dutch dairy farmer Jan Jonkman. He has enlarged his farm seriously to be prepared for the moment the milk quotum was lifted earlier this year. Jonkman is buying more cows and is looking at the long term and expects exports to grow anyway. He takes the NHK correspondent to the cooperative dairy factory nearby to show how many different cheeses they produce for the world market.
Activities: research, set-up, planning, accompanying filming, translations.
