Only an immediate reaction from the government can help the farmers, who are currently most affected by the crisis in Ukraine. With the immediate cancellation of the excise tax and VAT on green oil for farmers, as well as 0% VAT on fertilizers immediately, farmers will have lower production costs.

Farmers are among the hardest hit by the energy crisis. The high price of fuels increases the cost of production, which will contribute to the reduction of planted areas and there will be a shortage of domestic food.

Supporting the demands of the farmers, VMRO-DPMNE asks the government to reduce the VAT on fertilizers to 0%, because they have increased on the world stock exchanges by up to 100% in the past few months, and thus greatly affect the cost of production.
