Spanish strawberry growers on Wednesday criticised a German consumer campaign calling for supermarkets to boycott berries grown near Spain's Donana wetland, which is under threat from climate change and illegal irrigation.
Spanish strawberry growers association Interfresa said the campaign on German online petitions site Campact, which has so far been signed by 150,000 people, was "insidious and damaging to the strawberry and red fruit industry".
The province of Huelva, where the park is located, produces 98% of Spain's red fruits and 30% of the EU's. It is the world's largest exporter of strawberries. Reducing the amount of water extracted is one of the main solutions for saving the wetland, according to scientists.
