If farmers react to food price rises in the UK, they are doing so here too, with a blog, published from the island of El Hierro, covering the worldwide Crisis Ganadera (Farming Crisis), where they reiterate the 8% rise in food prices and highlight the discrepancy between this and the average rise in salaries, of between 4 to 4.5%. (Average salaries in the Canary Islands are already the second lowest in Spain at 1470.61 euros (about 1142 quid), per month.)
