A new chapter in the race of Marrugat
Josep Marrugat, a prominent representative of the Penedès agricultural sector, has recently been appointed a member of the Farmers Union executive. This new position will be responsible for fundamental issues such as territorial policy, urbanism, landscape and organic farming, thus increasing its influence within the organization.
A significant change of responsibilities
So far, Marrugat had been at the helm of the vine and wine section, where he played a key role in various initiatives. However, he has decided to take a step aside to make his way to new voices that bring innovative ideas to the sector.
Reflections on his career
Marrugat said that this new challenge represents an opportunity for personal and professional growth. “I have spent years of defense of the wine sector, but now is the time to allow others to take responsibility,” he said.
Prominent contributions and future challenges
In his previous time, he has been a tireless defender, obtaining aid for the consequences of the Ukraine War and working to improve the harvests. His achievements include the renewal of the regulatory councils and the influence on the price of the grapes, which has reached 80 cents a kilo.
Maintaining sustainability in the sector
Marrugat emphasized that sustainability of grape prices is one of its main goals. ‘We cannot allow these prices to be just a reaction to the current crisis; We need long -term stability, “he said firmly.
A new stage with personal challenges
With his new responsibility, Marrugat will be less present in the Penedès, a reality that he recognizes with a certain nostalgia. However, he undertakes to continue to defend the interests of the wine sector from a more strategic position within the new executive.
Adaptation to a new role
In addition, you will have to explore solutions to maintain your own vineyards, a challenge that you will face with determination. “Entering the Executive will mean changes in my routine, but I’m ready to deal with it,” he concluded.
