Santa Marina del Rey to host XLI Fiesta Campesina de UGAL

The XLI Fiesta Campesina de UGAL is scheduled to take place in Santa Marina del Rey on August 30, 2026. Organized by UPA and UGAL, the event serves as both a tribute to the agricultural and livestock sectors and a platform to address critical industry challenges.

Agricultural representatives highlighted several pressing issues, including rising production costs, falling cereal prices, and international market instability. The recent cereal campaign saw lower-than-expected yields due to extreme weather, specifically heavy winter rains followed by an exceptionally hot and dry spring and summer.

The livestock sector also faces significant hurdles regarding biosecurity and the emergence of new diseases, prompting calls for reinforced preventive measures. Beyond the festivities, the event aims to advocate for increased administrative support and the timely distribution of necessary subsidies for farmers and ranchers.
