I think its about 400 euros a year but it varies from one agricole to another, but I think they apply for your grants so you may break even, and If they have a large almacen store you get discount on your chemicals fertilizer and goods

As most of the Catalan youngsters wouldn't even entertain working on the land for a pittance, I presume the the age limit starts at 40 and goes on till you die shaking an olive or two.LOL

That's ageism never get away with that in the UK you know!!

Has no one told the Gandesians Life Begins at Forty!!

We recently joined Sol d'Ebre.  They charge according to the size of your finca and number of trees in production.  They do not have an age limit for joining.  Why would they? After all we are the ones paying them money.

If you are coming from Camarles down the N340 turn right in L'Aldea towards Tortosa go down the dual carriage way into tortosa town at the roundabout after Carrefor and McDonalds turn left and go over the Millenium Bridge on the other side turn right on the C12 signposted Mora and Gandesa at the first roundabout turn Left and Sol D Ebre is facing you you can't miss it!!

Yes its the same roundabout as Pots Pinturas, Cymo, and Yuka and LLums Gaudy Light Emporium

If you go round the warehouse at the rear they sell seedlings for potting on such as Tomatoes, courgettes, peppers sweetcorn and salad veg etc at reasonable prices and potting compost in large bags much cheaper than the supermarkets and garden centres.

So if you are over 40 you can't join the co-op at Gandesa? If thats the case how do us oldies who are still to move over full time expected to make a wage from our crops?

It seems ridiculous that we can't get rid of our crops. and I can't beleive it's the case everywhere. I'm near Gandesa but idon't want to travel all the way to Tortosa, where on earth can I go?

There must be loads of people in this position. I might as well just chop my trees down for firewood.

Sensible answers only please guys. This is not something I want to hear having just spent seven years paying for my land only to find I may not be able to sell my produce!
