The UAGR-COAG celebrates the forcing of agreements written in the sale of grape and wine

From the UAGR-COAG show satisfied in front of the decision of the Ministry to impose the forcing of agreements written in the sale of grape and wine. A posture that defended, from both organisations, like key tool to ensure the incomes of the viticultores, during years. To date they had refused his proposals in this sense, because of the fault of will of the commercial sector of contractualizar the purchase of grape and wine, as well as to the submission of some agricultural organisations.
At last the Ministry, in front of the grave situation of sinking of prices in the agricultural sector by the generalisation of the sale to result, goes to impose the compulsory agreements for all the agricultural transactions or graziers, giving the reason to years of claims of the Union of Agriculturalists.
The contractualización of the commercial relations between viticultores/cooperative and cellars is for the UAGR a fundamental element to finish with one of the greater problems that has the producing sector: the fault of transparency in the internal market of the Rioja. An opacity that, to the not to know the available prices of the grapes before the vintage, prevents the competition between the buyers and the rise of prices.
