BARCELONA, May 8 (Xinhua) -- The severe drought currently affecting Spain may mean that food prices will remain high, a spokesman for a major Spanish farming association has told Xinhua.
"If there's a lack of homegrown products due to drought, then they (food) will have to be brought in from abroad, and at prices that are higher than those produced here. This means the prices the consumer pays for these products will remain high or even rise," said Jaume Bernis from the Coordinator of Farmers and Ranchers Organizations (COAG).
