Farmers are bracing for potential rises in the cost of agricultural products, largely due to the reliance on raw materials sourced from the Middle East. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy is actively observing the evolving circumstances and intends to intervene if required. The situation is being closely tracked by government officials.
Stevançe Jordanoski, Chairman of the National Farmers’ Federation, voiced his optimism prior to the Federation’s annual assembly. He urged the ministry to swiftly implement measures and utilize the established crisis fund to lessen the impact of this developing challenge. Jordanoski highlighted the global instability, specifically referencing the ongoing conflict and its repercussions on oil markets.
He emphasized that all agricultural inputs and byproducts originate from this affected region. Consequently, significant price escalations are anticipated, potentially impacting retail sales. The chairman stressed the need for proactive state involvement.
He believes that immediate action is crucial to safeguard the interests of farmers and ensure the continued supply of essential agricultural products. The Ministry’s response will be vital in navigating this uncertain period for the farming sector.
