Farmers have been blocking roads across France in protest at what they say are deteriorating conditions in the agriculture sector. The Paris region branches of two farmers' unions, the FNSEA and the Young Farmers, said they would block major roads around the capital on Monday, January 29, for the first time since the movement began in mid-January. They promised an "indefinite siege" of Paris. Other groups have vowed to drive from around the country to the capital and nearby Rungis, home of the largest wholesale market in Europe.
