The issue is that European farmers don’t want to compete with U.S. agriculture. The euros whip up hysteria about nonsensical issues to stoke fear and justify non-tariff trade barriers to keep U.S. food products out. One simple solution would be for the U.S. and Europe (and Japan and other sophisticated countries) to recognize that all the advanced countries have quite elaborate food safety regimes, and to grant complete reciprocity. If you can sell something legally in the U.S., you should be able to sell it in Europe and vice versa. Let consumers buy what they want at the store. If we did that, most European farmers would be out of business in about a week.
I watch a lot of YouTube videos featuring big farming.
It is easy to see that European farmers can’t possibly compete against the American Farmer.
I’m not blaming the European farmer, but they are so saddled with what appears to be nonsensical practices that I think are forced upon them that they just aren’t very productive.
