Last year, the government had ordered the ministry to adjust the preferential purchase rates for agricultural diesel in mid-June this year to secure 15 percent. reduction of state budget losses, but the Ministry of Agriculture indicates that they would decrease by 6.19% or almost 6 million. euros.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the demand for diesel is higher than previously expected, so 15% is assured. there is no possibility of a reduction, which would generate significant financial costs for farmers, which could also lead to an increase in food prices.
The Ministry of Agriculture proposes to increase the preferential purchase rates of agricultural diesel for crops of rapeseed, vegetables, sugar beet, fodder roots, commercial orchards, berries, flax, hemp grown for fiber, as well as fallow and short rotation scrub, meadows for the commercial production of pasture fodder, pigs, snails, worms and other animals.
Reduction rates are proposed for bees in cereals, legumes and other crops for which direct payments are paid, where more than 40 colonies of bees are kept. In addition, it is proposed to introduce a new tariff – for corn for fodder and to abandon the preferential diesel for meadows and pastures where there is no active agricultural activity – to which 12 liters per hectare have so far been allocated.
The new preferential diesel tariffs for farmers would take effect from July 2021.
The amount of preferential diesel for farmers is determined based on their declared areas of agricultural land. In addition, farmers can additionally buy up to 15 percent. the quantity of diesel corresponding to the current campaign.
