The author of the documentary 'The long journey of the Canary tomato', Gustavo Rodriguez, presents this Friday at 21:00 hours, the work carried out on the last trip of the campaign ship of the harvest 2014/2015.

The presentation takes place within the framework of the XXII Agricultural Technical Conference of Fuerteventura, which will also feature the presentations 'The socioeconomic impact of the export tomato from the Canary Islands' and the 'Impact of the POSEI program on agriculture in the Canary Islands'.

The documentary of 32 minutes collects the sequence of the tomato from when it is harvested in a greenhouse until it reaches the hands of the consumer in a supermarket in central Europe.

The almost six-day voyage was destined for the ports of Souhthampton and Rotterdam. The documentary also presents the difficulties of transporting the Canarian tomato and how, throughout the 130 years of history, Even today it continues to be the sector's Achilles' heel..

A greenhouse in La Aldea was chosen for the recording., specifically that of Laura Martín, to honor the seven women who went on hunger strike to demand dignity in the sector.

Also, the journey from La Aldea to the pier, reflects the danger of the current highway and adds to the long struggle of this town that depends on tomatoes for a work of justice, according to the author.
