Farmers: Blockade of roads, if demands are not met

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić interrupted the last meeting with farmers. Due to unfulfilled demands, agricultural associations from different parts of Serbia have announced a protest for tomorrow, and according to the organizers, if their demands are not taken into account, they will also block the roads.

Farmers from different parts of Serbia did not reach an agreement with Prime Minister Ana Brnabić this time either, and that's why they announced that they will go out to protest tomorrow. 

The president of the "Stig" association from Požarevac, Nedeljko Savić, told the "Vremena" portal that the farmers presented their demands, but that none of them were fulfilled and that tomorrow various associations from different parts of Serbia will start protests. 

"The meeting was interrupted by Prime Minister Ana Brnabić, our requests were not taken into account and we encountered a complete lack of understanding of the Government for the situation we are in." "On the first day of the protest, only a gathering of farmers is planned, but if the government continues to ignore our demands, we will block the roads the next day," said Savić.

Persistent in demands

Let us remind you that farmers demand subsidies of 300 euros per hectare and that excise duty and VAT are not calculated on diesel, as well as that the subsidy per cow amounts to 40.000 dinars.

Farmers and herders expect the authorities to provide them with the price of agricultural products, wheat, corn, soybeans and others, as on the stock exchanges in Budapest and Paris.

Also, the farmers tried to point out the disturbances in the market, for example that the price of wheat of 18 dinars is unacceptable because they cannot produce it at such a low price. 

One of the requirements is to form protective purchase prices of fresh milk of 78 dinars plus value-added tax, recourse for dairy cows of 40.000 dinars per head, regulation of the import of milk and milk products and a minimum premium for milk of 20 dinars.

Milk crisis: Milk is flowing, but in the garbage

There has been no agreement since the beginning of the year

Several hundred milk producers from Serbia protested at the beginning of February in front of the Ministry of Agriculture in Belgrade, demanding better production conditions.

Brnabić wrote to the EU: Remove import taxes on milk

Dissatisfied with the reaction of the Ministry, they repeated the protest in March when they blocked the bridge in Šabac, and so far there has been no progress in the negotiations with the Government.

Milk crisis: Milk is flowing, but in the garbage

The dairy cattle industry has been in crisis for decades. Currently, the situation culminates in the announcement that dairies are suspending purchases from small producers, due to surpluses from imports. Those who make a living from it call on the government to help and rely on retail

Where does the milk go?

The reason for the shortage of milk is the almost ten-month ban on increasing the price of long-term milk - every measure of this type, although it is intended to preserve the standard of citizens, actually inevitably leads to a shortage because it is not profitable for producers to sell milk at the same prices as before, while everything everything else that affects that production is growing at breakneck speed
