The developing countries are extremely dependent on EU demand. Other countries, such as the states of the former Soviet Union, Russia and others, and Japan, are only interested in highprotein substances such as fish meal and soy bean meal. The changes in EU policy have had a particularly sharp effect on developing countries and their ability to trade with the West. e. ) welcome the end of the trade. In their view, European agriculture makes too heavy a demand on scarce agricultural land which developing countries need to produce food for themselves.
This tightly organised and relatively isolated stronghold, the heart of which was formed by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Agricultural Board, has often been described as the Green Front. Conflict on the m a n u r e p r o b l e m For a long time, the Green Front turned a deaf ear to warnings about the manure problem. As early as the late 1960s, agricultural experts had warned against overfertilisation with manure and the dumping of animal manure (Frouws, 1993). They pointed to the danger of nitrogen leachate and eutrophication of the soil and groundwater.
Moreover, the end product must be able to compete with the cheaper artificial fertiliser which has been used to date. Industrial manure processing is only viable if it is heavily subsidised. It has even been suggested that the Sahara could be made fertile with the aid of Dutch manure granules or that liquid manure should be exported to India, dried in the sun and sold. The response by Indian farmers to this idea confirms that conflicting interests are at stake, as Box 1 indicates. 5 million guilders for the manure and that this was a complete waste of money.
