Spain have really good tomato! but also it's also not the one we see in france most of the time, the one sold everywhere here are often the one coming from Almeria, or grow in the same kind of condition+ they are also sold outside of the good season no wonder they have a bad reputation! (and like even whiteout the taste they have horrible social and ecological condition around the one we found most of the time)
Kaixo anon!
You mean that in the whole state of France you only can get one kind of tomato from Spain? Aka, the bad one?
Also, Almería is a powerhouse in vegetables and fruit production, feeding much of the EU. As such, in Almería there are meh products, good products, and excellent products. Saying that one product is inherently bad because it comes from Almería is simplistic and wrong.
Yes, of course right now in 2024 we have fruits and vegetables all year round, even off season; and yes, many off-season products are - obviously - not as tasty as the seasonal ones. Here's when our role as consumers is important: don't buy off-season products if you don't like them (or the conditions they're produced in), but don't blame the producer of the quality because they can fight mother nature just to an extent.
And also now you mention the ecological condition: the French representative that stated that Spanish tomatoes are inedible was talking about ecological tomatoes. The bio/eco label is regulated by the EU, meaning that an eco tomato grown in Spain has exactly the same growing conditions (without pesticides, etc) as one grown in France. Not to mention that horrible social conditions in the fields are a sad truth not only in Spain, but also in France, and other countries.
There are looots of tomato varieties, off-season and seasonal, eco and traditional, and we could discuss our personal preferences. But a representative from a European country stating on national TV that Spanish eco tomatoes are inedible to defend their national products is serious, completely false, and chauvinistic. Fight your battle without harming another country with blatant lies.

the double standards in this league are actually insane. the only people who will defend real madrid are their fans. i can respect when they deservingly win, but this game so obviously belonged to almeria, yet the ref did everything in his power to make real madrid win. fuck real madrid and fuck every corrupt referee helping them.

Agricultural production in the Almeria region of Spain is only possible thanks to the work of immigrants from Morocco, sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe. They represent 90% of the 120,000 personnel working in the greenhouses. Low wages, intermittent employment and precariousness mean that many agricultural workers cannot find housing that is commensurate with their financial means and must live in the “chabolas”, shanty towns made of plastic pallets and tarpaulins where several thousand people live in total. This figure is constantly rising, as is the value of exports from the agricultural companies in which these people work: over 3 billion euros worth of produce was exported from Almeria last year.
El Wallili is the biggest chabola in the municipality of Níjar, with more than 500 people living there. Most residents are migrant farmworkers. It was established 15 years ago and is located in a strategic site between the greenhouses where they work. The local government provides El Wallili with no means of transportation, no water, no electricity, and no garbage collection. An agreement signed in 2000 between the local authorities, unions, and agribusinesses which committed these bodies to the construction of decent housing has never been fulfilled.
In November 2022, the municipal government of Nijar began the administrative process of demolition the El Wallili chabola, with no alternative accommodation being offered. This was escalated on Thursday 19th January with notice of demolition being given by the council, and delivered by the Local Police, for 30th January. In public statement, the Mayor of Nijar Esperenza Perez has stated this demolition is due to the terrible living conditions for residents. But in other statements, she has echoed the fruit and vegetable and tourism employers, who allege that the chabolas harm the brand of their products and services, as a reason for the demolition.  
To resist this act, 9 unions and social movements have formed the Derecho a Techo (Right to a Roof) coalition. Right to a Roof demands that no demolition take place without the construction of decent alternative accommodation first, and have supporting the residents’ struggle against the eviction through demonstrations, strike actions, and road blockades.
The Landworkers Alliance, together with other organisations of La Via Campesina, supports the struggle of the inhabitants of the settlement “El Wallili” and the Right to a Roof Platform. The Landworkers’ Alliance asks the authorities of Níjar and Andalusia, the agribusinesses, and Coexphal, the representative of the exporters, to respect the workers who make it possible to produce and export the agricultural products that enrich the entrepreneurs of the region of Níjar and to renounce the demolition – as long as there is no alternative accommodation – and to agree to negotiate with the Platform on this matter.
The Landworkers’ Alliance will inform the people in the UK about the situation in El Wallili as long as no solution has been found to provide decent housing for all inhabitants. As residents of a country which imports vast quantities of produce from Almeria, it is important that we communicate to the authorities in Nijar that their attempt to prettify the image of agroindustry by disappearing its social consequences will not work.
If you can, please send this model email to the authorities in Nijar. A model text can be found here.
