(27 Feb 2019) Farmers in the Argentine capital gave away their produce for free on Wednesday, as part of a demonstration over conditions for small scale producers.
Groups representing small tenant farmers marched on the government house in Buenos Aires protesting policies they say are affecting their industry and livelihoods.
Accompanied by leftist and worker party members, the demonstrators distributed fruit and vegetables to a large crowd that had gathered in Plaza de Mayo square.
A growing trend away from local agricultural production and refocusing on cash rich crop, such as soy, has ramped up the price of land meaning many farmers to cede their territory to large scale producers.
Many of the protesters who gathered on Wednesday called on Argentina's President Mauricio Macri to to tackle high inflation in the country.
