The National Grain Producer Association has reacted sharply to the European Parliament’s decision to increase tariffs on fertilizers from Russia and Belarus.
According to Bulgarian farmers, this would lead to a drastic jump in fertilizer prices, as well as mass bankruptcies. The European Parliament has agreed to gradually increase tariffs on fertilizer imports from Russia and Belarus to the EU. This week, Brussels approved its 17th package of sanctions against Russia over its aggression in Ukraine.
A day before the vote, the National Grain Producer Association in Bulgaria sent a second letter to Bulgarian MEPs, calling for solutions that would ease the blow to farmers from the expected higher prices of fertilizers, BNR reports.
The position of the largest farmers’ organization in Europe – Copa Cogeca, is similar. According to it, the tariffs will increase fertilizer prices by at least 45 euros per ton.
