French Agricultural Study Reports High Low-Income Rates
A study by the Observatoire de la rémunération agricole reveals that 43% of farmers earn less than the minimum wage (SMIC). The findings indicate financial struggles for agricultural workers across rural France, particularly in southern regions and Brittany. One farmer, Guénolais Telverléti, reported a monthly salary of 1,200 euros after five years of operation. Some farmers report working between 70 and 80 hours per week to maintain these income levels. The findings suggest a deep malaise affecting the rural sector.
