Farmers in France that declare they no longer use glyphosate will be granted temporary tax credits.
The French Ministry for Agriculture said recently that the creation of value around glyphosate-free agriculture is integral to sustainability and requires concrete measures.
For this reason, French senators have adopted an amendment allowing the introduction of a temporary tax credit of €2,500 to support agricultural enterprises that declare in 2021 and/or 2022 that they no longer use phytopharmaceuticals containing the active substance glyphosate.
In addition, there will be the introduction of tax credits for organic farming and farming with high environmental value.
The ministry said that this credit targets the sectors most economically impacted by their consumption of glyphosate, which is the case in particular for permanent crops (viticulture, arboriculture) and large crops.
