Im gonna demand guaranteed price for my buggers. So I don't have to work again. 🤷‍♂️

I didn't check the AI's sources, but the protests would make sense if smallholder farmers are being forced to sell to some beaurocratic middlemen, meaning they have limited influence to raise prices.

It's basically collective bargaining if I understand it well.

Sure. I have no idea on the facts itself.

But I'm pretty sure that demanding "prices" to be set never ended well.
