The Dutch Central Food Trade Agency (CBL) has denounced the protests and called on the government to resolve the conflict immediately.
“These blockades are unacceptable,” the CBL wrote in a statement. “The CBL previously called on the government and farmers to use the dialogue and resolve the conflict. The farmers have a conflict with the government about nitrogen, [and] the members of the CBL are not involved. Blockades of distribution centers hurt the citizens of the Netherlands.”
