The food chain surveillance fee can disadvantage the domestic products

The regulation that controls the food chain surveillance fee is expected to enter into force from late March, early April – the experts of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Ltd. published at a professional meeting.

The Agricultural Office (MgSzH), predicts that the new rules will have negative consequences: the fee is not “a single-phase tax” and does not bind to a certain product, but all the players in the food chain will have to pay. This may increase the product prices if the market participants will be able to pass the extra costs onto their trading partners. (agromonitor.hu)
