AfD Kompakt, November 5, 2021.
The farmers already for 30 years have been very heavily financially burdened by low proceeds for grain and meat. The rising costs for fertilizer and fuel are an additional important cost factor in each yearly balance of the operations. So as to approximately compensate for this financial prejudice, tax breaks [Steurvergünstigungen] for farm diesel and the exemption of farm machinery from the Kfz [motor vehicle] tax are needed and need urgently continue to be maintained. An abolition of these measures would further accelerate the structural transformation and displace foodstuffs production to foreign countries.
On that account, the AfD Bundestag delegation expresses itself as strictly opposed to the demands of the Federal Environmental Office and stands as before at the side of German agriculture.
