Across Iran, farmers and factory workers have been protesting high prices and unpaid salaries that leave farmers struggling to make money from their businesses and factory workers unable to afford food to put on their table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iranian farmers from Hashtbandi in Hormozgan province went on strike on Sunday to protest the low purchase price of onions. One farmer protesting said the low purchase price was driving them to bankruptcy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \u201cNo one supports farmers. The prices of fertilizer and pesticide and everything else has skyrocketed, but farming produce is being purchased from farmers at the same price, which has driven the lives of farmers into misery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
