The people of Spain began to steal crops directly from the fields. The reason for this was a record rise in the prices of vegetables and fruits in the country.

Farmers have to patrol their own land at night, as theft is practiced on an industrial scale. The attackers take out several tons of crops from the fields at a time, writes the newspaper El Confidencial.

The first thieves have already been rounded up and arrested in the plantations. It should be recalled that fruit and vegetable prices have increased in recent weeks due to drought-induced shortages, as well as high energy costs and logistical problems.

In other Western countries too, there is a crisis. Thus, food inflation in the UK has reached record levels in the history of observations, reports the television channel. “360”.
