The German Farmers’ Association has called for an extension of the fuel discount. Although fuel prices have recently dropped noticeably, farmers still need the relief beyond the harvest season, the association said.
The demand comes against the backdrop of rising operating costs in agriculture. The fuel discount was originally introduced as a temporary measure to cushion high fuel prices. The association argues that the harvest season is particularly fuel-intensive and that an extension is urgently needed.
