In Pictures: French farmers in revolt

The French government scrambled this week to put together an aid package worth more than 600 million euros (S$893 million) for farmers following days of protests that have blocked roads to cities and tourist sites in the north-west. Farmers say they have yet to benefit from the price hikes in supermarkets and that falling prices of produce are driving them to bankruptcy. Some routes have since re-opened while others remain closed.
