The general secretary of agrarian organization ASAJA Murcia, Alfonso Gálvez Caravaca, has not hesitated to describe as "untenable" situation that has been suffering in recent times the regional agricultural sector and has been greatly exacerbated by a "disproportionate tax burden" .
Explains the leader of the agrarian organization, "the exorbitant price hikes for raw materials, low prices in origin, unfair competition from third countries or lack of water is now added, and the hand of the Government of Rodriguez Zapatero, a very strong fiscal pressure which farmers can not afford. "
Modulation on the vegetables and tomatoes, in the view of Gálvez Caravaca, a clear example of the "tax burden with the central executive load a sector as battered as is agriculture."
In this sense, the leader of Murcia Asaja notes that the Ministry of Economy and Finance intends to publish, before 1 December, an order which will reflect the performance indices of production of objective assessment scheme for modular 2009, and some changes will also affect certain productions of 2008.
In the case of vegetables and tomato, this modulation will be in the 0.26, representing an increase of over 50% compared to that applied in 2000-2006.
Thus, compared to existing modulation of 0.17 between 2000 and 2006, in 2007 the Government increased to 0.37 and now poses place it in a final in 0.26, which is a "outrageous" that the sector can not cope, says Galvez Caravaca.
Indeed, the increased modulation of the tomato will be the focus of the briefing was organized for the delegation this afternoon in Mazarrón Murcia ASAJA to be held at the headquarters of Agrimur.
At this meeting will be presented to farmers in the area the current status of system modules and consider the call for demonstrations or rallies to raise awareness among authorities about the seriousness of the situation in the sector.
